The Boca Raton Historical Society is proud to present Town Hall Talks: My Personal History of the Personal Computer, featuring Dr. Dave Bradley!

Town Hall Talks is an evening lecture program given in Boca Raton's original "Town Hall". The 2023 - 2024 season consists of five (5) special speakers who will present interesting topics from their area of expertise.

Featured lecturer: Dave Bradley (“Dr. Dave”) is a retired IBM engineer who was part of the original design team for the IBM PC personal computer, the ancestor of all “PC” style computers, manufactured right here in Boca Raton, Florida. His claim to fame is writing the code for “Control Alt Delete” - to reboot the computer, a trick all PC users know and love. Dr. Dave will take us on an entertaining history of the development of the machine that revolutionized the world.

Doors open at 6 PM for check-in and refreshments. Lecture begin at 6:30 PM.
