Mr. Landrum, who says he wanted to be a baker, specialized in code breaking while in the United States Army, later working for the National Security Agency and then Planning Research Corporation where he met Dr. Jamison.
At Blueridge Technologies, Mr. Landrum programs computers. Ins side the office, requiring an upper and lower level of workspace in the tiny shopping area, Apple Macintosh, IBM’s Sun computers flash and blink and click and sing and dance to the staff of 18.
Not all the computers belong to the growing business. “Clients leave theri machines here to be programmed,” Mr. Landrum said, adding that the variety made things “interesting” in the office.
