As it happens, I had a meeting on Tuesday with NCR’s CEO Bill Nuti at Fortune Magazine’s Brainstorm Tech conference being held here in Aspen, Colo.
I was just learning to read, but I remember that it had a label on it that said “National.” It stood for the National Cash Register Company, which today is known as NCR.
I thought it was the best thing ever to hang out with him for part of the day, “working in the store.” Naturally, my favorite thing was to operate the cash register. One summer when I was 5, my grandfather ran a small neighborhood convenience store in his town in Minnesota.
