Hey It is great that thee are others of past generations.

bosk00: You are correct about visi-calc I was in general refering to what the big corps adopted. There were also several "PC's" out before the "IBM PC" (Altair, Lisa, TRS-80, DEC Rainbow, etc) but of these it took "IBM" to capture the Corp world.

Bobby2004: Wow first time I have heard the Kite story. As a programmer lets give the upstart MS fair due; the original MS DOS 1.0 was written prior to the physical IBM being available or at least concurrent development. All that was definitely known is that it would be a /86 Intel proc. No machine actual machine to debug on. So 300 bugs in several thousand lines of assembler code????not too bad. Could have been better with a test machine or another Qtr for MS to develop but alas Marketing would not allow that.
