Hello, my name is Betty
Jane 1.0 was typical of American military engineering of the time. Her software took up far more room than comparable civilian systems due to extensive security and backup subroutines. Her hardware was slower and more expensive because it was designed to survive solders drop kicking it out of a moving airplane. Which they sometimes did. On purpose. But neither wind, nor snow, nor sudden drops from 5,000 feet could stop Hanoi Jane from telling her soldiers all the bad things that were happening around them.
