Not UNIX (so I heard) CP/M supposedly (in the story I heard), Gary
Kildall, the developer of CP/M decided to smoke a joint and go
flying, rather than meet with the IBM folks. Then the IBM folks
went to Bill G and Bill G bought the QDOS.
Gary Kildall is long dead. My Dad flew for 76 years. He didn't
smoke dope.
