    Does anybody know this great man? What would PCs be without his tremendously significant contributions? Would "PC" be even a thing?

    Posted: 11 Dec 2020 11:31 AM PST

    I'm referring to Gary Kildall, the creator of BIOS (which all PCs today wouldn't run at all without it), the creator of the first Operating System (CP/M) for microcomputers (the term for PCs in the 70s), the creator of PL/M (high-level language) that directly speaks to microprocessors (CPUs of the microcomputers in the 70s). An employee of his company (Tom Rolander) improved CP/M and created MP/M, the first OS to support multi-user and multitasking where you can switch between programs.

    Microcomputers were deemed as toys back in the 70s because of its weak hardware but Gary Kildall had a vision of exactly today, where we would all have PCs of our own doing various things, and even with different hardware configurations, everything will still work like magic. This is really the definition of PC, customizable hardware.

    Without this great man, how would hardware today be? His contributions are so great, yet barely anyone knows him. It's just so sad. Why is there no tribute for him?
