Гэри Арлен Килдалл

"His career choices reflect a different definition of success, where innovation means sharing ideas, letting passion drive your work and making source code available for others to build upon. His work ethic during the 1970s resembles that of the open-source community today."

"In 1974, he invented CP/M, the first operating system that could run on these new desktop platforms. Soon after, he created the BIOS, which enabled CP/M to easily interface with different computer hardware. CP/M became the de facto standard personal computer operating system." - за много лет до мелкософта!!! Open Code. Для всех!

Интересно, если бы он не погиб, кем был бы Билл Гейтц сейчас?
