ELISE AASEN

As a girl geek, I took my first programming course in 1979, and started a one-woman computer consulting firm as a student in Oslo in 1985. I eventually completed my Cand.Scient. degree in Theoretical Physics at the University of Oslo, with subjects like physics, mathematics, informatics and astronomy. (A degree roughly equivalent to M. Sc.) Still, I preferred working with varied tasks in IT to calculating quark masses all day... This was a very exciting pioneer time for "personal computing", where I worked on the Internet before the World Wide Web (!), with HP's first PC, and as Microsoft's first Norwegian localiser when Windows, Word and Excel had their major breakthroughs. My first PC was purchased in 1986: an HP Vectra AT I got for 26,000 NOK… - at a 50% discount!... I provide services such as texts, languages, design, Internet and social media, surveys, software, communication in English and Norwegian.
