Abstract
Luanne Johnson, one of the early women entrepreneurs in the computer software industry, describes how she became a programmer and then how she started Argonaut Information Systems, a provider of packaged accounting software products. She discusses how she simplified the structure and programming of the products for easy maintenance and portability and focused on of-the-shelf sales to medium-sized companies. She talks about her many years as an active participant in ADAPSO and then in leading the ADAPSO Foundation and becoming the President of ADAPSO which was renamed as the Information Technology Association of America. She concludes with stories about her consulting career after leaving ADAPSO.
