As Editorials Go, This One Ranks Last

摘要

Last as in final, that is. Yes, this is my final editorial and for a very good reason. After six years as Editor-in-Chief of Electronic Design and more than 30 years covering the industry, I have decided to retire. I have had a wonderfully enjoyable career, like most people whose interests fit perfectly with their daily work. It's hard to believe that when I began my career as technical editor at Popular Electronics back in 1981, the main editorial tools were a pencil and electric typewriter. No one in my office had computers on their desks at the time. In fact, I was hired specifically because of my knowledge of the Apple Ⅱ+ computer. The magazine was looking for an editor who could cover a new beat about personal computers.
