zlim Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Sadly I never heard of him. Apparently he did his developing not far from me in Valley Forge. Thank you Chuck for having the vision so PCs would be available to the common man/woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cluttermagnet Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Never heard of this guy until now. Thanks for a very interesting link to his story. Noteworthy that he was so drawn to California. An east coast native would logically return east later in life. I note with interest he didn't stay in PA, however, and he died in Santa Cruz.
