If you enjoyed this, back in 2015 I wrote a feature about Lore Harp McGovern and her business partners for Fast Company that goes into the creation of Vector Graphic in detail: https://www.fastcompany.com/3047428/how-two-bored-1970s-hous...

Reading that back in the day was one of the reasons she was on my list for this series to write about. Was the first time I'd heard of her!

(Love your ongoing blog and output)

I knew this was familiar but I couldn't remember where I had read it before :-)

That was great and really piqued my interest. I remember reading Byte magazine and the pages and pages of adverts for machines similar to the Vector; peripherals, compilers, and softwarein the same work satation category.

I’d love to read more about these products and their history. It was all very opaque. Even back then.
