William Frederick Jolitz attended the University of California, Berkeley during a period of great change and opportunity.
While still staying involved with NASA and "Silicon Valley" to the south (often by motorcycle, same day),
Cal's environment of science, engineering and technology was very different.
Before Cal, William Jolitz was used to technology like
the IBM 370/145 DOS/VS (BAL, PL/1) of the local college, either the IBM 360/67 TSS (Fortran, PL/1G) or the CDC 7600
(Run76, Compass) of NASA, or the UCLA IBM 360/95 and Stanford 360/65 (Algol W). Science was liquid helium dewars,
oscilloscopes, and actual measurement of physical observations.
Engineering was breadboarding of devices
and equipment acquired from affliated groups in a shared budget relationship.
