| When the first GE-115 computer came across from Olivetti,

I'd never heard of the GE-115.  Googling doesn't seem to lead to a
description of the architecture (i.e. instruction set etc.).  But it
does lead to information about the industrial designer.  Apparently he
went on to form Memphis.

He was 90 last year, the year this degree was conferred.

Bull / Olivetti / GE / Honeywell etc. treated their computer business as
some kind of hot potato.
