Microsoft-Paul Allen

[Fred Cisin]

Thank you for the correction.

Yes, companies often change their names.

Gary Kildall founded Intergalactic Digital Research.

George Morrow founded Thinker Toys, which later became Morrow's Micro 
Stuff, and eventually Morrow Designs.

Greenberg and Grant founded Kentucky Fried Computers, which became North 
Star (due to a lawsuit from a chicken place), and eventually NorthStar

Can you pinpoint when the microcomputer businesses lost their sense of 
humor?
