From the earliest history of the computer the
innovators and engineers
talked about licensing, patents and who did what &
when. What has
changed? Should we be surprised that Jack Tramiel ?acted? the way he
did and not necessarily in a bad way; that the supercomputer?s origins
is in dispute! The historical origins, in some fashion, can be found
in ?Turing Cathedral: The origins of the digital universe? by George
Dyson. It tells us why we had the vintage computer era - this can be
found in my book, ?A Historical Research Guide to the Microcomputer.?
(Shameful plug here!) - and what has evolved since.
