With a Large Hat Tip to Dr. Ed Roberts— the Father of the personal computer. Dr. Roberts was the first employer of Bill Gates and Paul Allen— allowing their development of BASIC... the first product of Microsoft, developed while employees of Dr. Roberts— and for which they did not pay him near enough to take with them. That’s a fact folks. And the suckers knew it, too.
Ed Roberts was an AirForce crytographer, graduate electrical engineer and realized the dream of his life— he studied medicine and graduated medical school and practiced family medicine in rural Cochran, GA. He died in Macon GA hospital and guess who flew in separately to see him in their private jets.... Gates and Allen.
So the REAL story is Dr. Ed Roberts, an American hero and genius.
