Abstract
The Computing Centre of the Norwegian Technical University was established in January 1963, with a staff of 1.5 people and a small Danish computer, GIER. By mid-1965, it had grown to a staff of 25 with a large-scale computer, using the computing facilities at night as a service bureau to pay salaries. Training courses were instituted into the established schedule; operations were made highly efficient; real-life applications contributed to a non-academic appreciation of computers; the computing service was spread all across the campus, and many people had a lot of fun.
Formerly at the Computing Centre, The Norwegian Technical University, Trondheim, Norway
