1969 #computer #office solutions weren't marketed by #IBM for medium sized companies. The first #Redactor was affordable for less than $10K and powerful enough to challenge their market domination, a decade prior to the #PC revolution.

#EvelynBerezin was ahead of her time, including #GaryKildall, #LoreHarp, #SteveJobs, and of course #BillGates, too.

I'm still really chuffed that Dan Totally Rad Show, #DanTrachtenburg, is now Dan Totally Brilliant Director Of Prey, Black Mirror, The Boys etc. 🥰

The only warm geeky feels I can compare it to is when #ComputerChronicles used to be hosted by #GaryKildall.

Watching the most interesting tribute show on Gary Kildall when I saw the background on of the interview objects. That bookshelf was my teenage selfs wet dream. A bookshelf full of software boxes! Could you ever want more in the nineties? #garykildall #retro

Gary Kildall was an important figure, and early #OS pioneer during the seminal period of the personal computer revolution. CP/M Creator Gary Kildall’s Memoirs Released as Free Download… Gary Kildall’s story shows how he paved a path for the start-up culture, say his children… I totally agree. The computing world would be substantially different had he chosen to meet with the IBM suits who were looking for an OS for their new PCs. But Kildall didn’t like suits, they made him nervous is the story. Great guy, great mind… #GaryKildall #RetroComputing #technology #computing #ComputingHistory

El 11 de julio de 1994 fallece Gary Kildall. Fue un informático de EEUU, reconocido por ser el creador del sistema operativo CP/M, pionero en la revolución de las PC y fundador de Digital Research, Inc.
Kildall padecía alcoholismo, provocado por su divorcio. Falleció por una contusión ocasionada por un golpe de botella en su cabeza tres días antes, originada en una pelea de bar.

My first operating system was CP/M. An operating system created in 1974 by Gary Kildall, the founder of Digital Research. Few people knows who was Gary Kildall (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Kildall) and his CPM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP/M).

Apple and Microsoft have taken the history for them..
