JasonRIP Phil Katz. 23 years today. I still remember when we stopped using the arc compression format and moved to #zip. I was in school and it felt like it was possible for a single person could change the computing world. #philKatz #computing #compression #zipformat
Was it like this for the very few people who knew at the time that System Enhancement Associates was 2 blokes in their homes, when Phil Katz was mobilizing people against them for being a big bad evil corporate giant wanting to suppress him, back in the 1980s?
I know what it was like to be one of the mobilized people, and only learn the truth decades later.
