I also recall that Q-DOS stands for Quick & Dirty Operating System. Wasn't there something about the IBM people going to Gary Kindall (CP/M) first, but Gary kept them cooling their heels in the waiting room? They then went to see Bill Gates instead. Actually, if you get into the history, you'll find that is incorrect. Gary Kildall's wife was reluctant to accept some of IBM's terms.
That's interesting. I wonder what terms she objected to? And was Gates offered the same terms? Did he accept? Regards, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
