I'll just stick with "Gee Whiz" since no one's ever heard of "Greg
Whitten" ;)
The GW-BASIC name stands for Gee-Whiz BASIC.
So,
which is it? Dr. Whitten also added in a follow-up:
"I also know something about Intecolor 8001 and Compucolor II machines
because I was Director of Software for ISC from 1978-1979. I bought an
ISC 8001 in Jan 77 and worked for them as a consultant in 77 and 78."
Cool, I've got both. Maybe he can help me get them working when he's not
busy having lunch with Bill G.
