Great story about Kildall and CP/M.

In his defense note that back then nobody had the least concept of what the PC industry would eventually grow to become: a $100BB behemoth.

Who's to say a CP/M-rooted alternate PC reality would have been any better than what we have now? We bitch a lot about all the things that are wrong, but we often neglect to reflect on how many things are right.

God bless,
