-I've worked in technology for five decades.  I've worn a lot of hats, from military trainer, field service technician, systems engineer, and community college instructor, the common thread has always been the same: helping people truly understand technology.

-The Cranky Cynic is my way of pushing back against the oversimplified stories we are told about invention.

The Guru 42 Universe is not run by a university professor with a team of editors and advisers working to developing a website. Tom Peracchio is simply someone who loves technology and history and is amazed by how little people know about the great minds in the world of technology.
