In fact, we know that Carol Shaw worked at Tandem Computers (and according to some sources, she would have returned to business, but nothing confirmed) around, we can assume that it has joined the company after it has been formed at the university (which we can not know is when) and although we know that the beginning of its projection has been in Atari, Activision was in it stood out as a programmer.
But again I repeat, it would be interesting to find its path in Tandem Computers, for it was there that she learned the techniques of programming games, after all ,Nolan Bushnell and not to hire unless she had a Know How in the matter.
It may seem absurd (and believe me, I tried it in search of information) but if we could get in touch with former employees of the company that season, could collect data rather interesting, accurate and comprehensive on the subject.
'Mayhem' thanks for participation and for the words.
