From page 403... ...
A part of the history of computing in the life sciences is written in the struggle of research groups to obtain computers of their own, which can be shaped to their own usesas laboratory instruments or as data-retrieval and display systems, for example. A second reason for decentralization of the selection, development, and control of computers is that only through the parallel attempt of many life scientists to adapt the computer to their needs will the computer play its appropriate role in life science research.

Almost all the heavy users in our census would reveal somewhat special developments. The projects in the life sciences noted above have analogues in other fields, which may short-circuit the research effort but not the development effort.
