Dr. Henry Edward Roberts, RIP

A loss indeed, but nice to see Gates and Allen apparently always acknowledged the connection. By way of reerence, it was the high cost of Dr. Roberts machine that prompted my own early experiments in computing.

Dr. Henry Edward Roberts, a developer of an early personal computer that inspired Bill Gates to found Microsoft, died Thursday in Georgia. He was 68.
