In totally unrelated news, the Ars Technica website has an up to date
history of computing from the Altair personal computer to smartphones
with cool pictures of some old technology (why, they even mention the
Timex Sinclair though they only show the Sinclair Spectrum computer); see:

NOTE:  I love it that at the end the article calls MS-DOS a know-off
of the CP/M operating system.  Maybe I'll dig out my old KayPro 4
out of storage and fire up Wordstar and SuperCalc and connect
up somewhere with Mite and the 300 baud modem. ;-)
