Kathleen Pitta, De Re Atari
 
Kathleen Marinell worked at Atari in 1981 or so -- she was Kathleen Pitta at that time. She is one of the contributors to De Re Atari, A Guide to Effective Programming, which was serialized by Byte Magazine in 1981 through 1982, and published by Atari Program Exchange in 1982. Kathleen is credited with Appendix E, which is about the GTIA chip.

"I'm very logical, so the logic of computer languages -- I was fascinated by that. But the technology .. it changed to fast."
