Grace Hopper was one of the towering GENIUSES of the twentieth century.

And I do not hand out such epithets lightly.

Why there has not been a biopic about her is beyond my comprehension.

I certainly agree. The PC crowd wants a woman on the U.S. $20 bill. Harriet Tubman has been proposed. I'm OK with that. Tubman was a brave soul, and a Republican as well! But Hopper would also make a good choice there.

She thought up the idea of a compiler and so much more. Us Geeks owe her a lot. And hey, she was NAVY.
