A lot has changed (but some things haven't)
John and Damon chat with Barbara Bouldin about her first-hand view of the good -- and the ugly -- through the past few decades of the technology industry. From Bell Labs to the breakup of AT&T ("Ma Bell") to enterprise software to transforming government agencies today, Barbara's journey has been an interesting ride.
