Yeah, if you read to the bottom I apologize for this.

I made this rant at 5am after being in the hospital for 8 hours, I could barely see the screen. It's amazing the thread doesn't have even more typos

Perhaps because of the misspelled name. His name was Gary Kildall. Btw, I can highly recommend some of the old Computer Chronicles episodes with him as co-host. They are available on archive.org.
