I'm still really chuffed that Dan Totally Rad Show, #DanTrachtenburg, is now Dan Totally Brilliant Director Of Prey, Black Mirror, The Boys etc. 🥰

The only warm geeky feels I can compare it to is when #ComputerChronicles used to be hosted by #GaryKildall.

Image titled “Throwback Thursday – CP/M: The original 8-bit OS.” The background is a soft desert sand gradient. At the center is a photograph of a vintage Sanco computer running CP/M, displaying green text on a CRT monitor. Two large floppy disk drives labeled A and B are visible on the front of the unit, and a Durabyte disk box sits beside it. The computer rests on a wooden surface, with a keyboard below the monitor.  Text below the image reads: “Created in 1974 by Gary Kildall, CP/M (initially Control Program/Monitor, then Control Program for Microcomputers) was the de facto standard 8-bit operating system for Intel 8080 compatible microcomputers. CP/M contributed greatly to the proliferation of computers as well as the development of software and hardware, and introduced computing to a new generation of users.”  At the bottom right corner, the text vintage.computer appears in brown.

Before DOS, there was CP/M: the original 8-bit operating system that powered early microcomputers. Created by Gary Kildall in 1974, CP/M became the foundation for a new era of personal computing. #VintageComputing #CPM #RetroComputing #GaryKildall #TechHistory #VintageComputer

El 1 de diciembre de 1973, comienza el desarrollo de la versión de prueba del CP/M (Control Program/Monitor) de la mano de Gary Kildall.
Este fue el OS más usado de la época y el cuál fue prácticamente pirateado por Microsoft para crear el MS-DOS.
