		Gary Kildall was born and grew up in Seattle, Washington, where his family operated a seafaring school.
		Gary returned in the afternoon and signed the agreement so negotiations could go forward, but accounts disagree about whether he personally met with the IBM representatives or was merely at DRI while the negotiations were in progress.
		Kildall was particularly annoyed when the University of Washington asked him, as a distinguished graduate, to attend their computer science program anniversary in 1992, but gave the keynote speech to college dropout Gates.

	Smart Computing Encyclopedia Entry - Gary Kildall
		Were it not for Gary Kildall, inventor of CP/M (control program for microprocessors), a different OS (operating system) might be necessary for each brand of personal computer.
		Kildall called his new invention CP/M. Initially, the letters stood for Control Program/Monitor but eventually became known as control program for microprocessors or control program for microcomputers.
		Kildall sold his majority interest in Knowledge-Set in the late 1980s and sold the struggling Digital Research to Novell in 1991.

	Gary Kildall
		Gary Kildall (May 19, 1942 - July 11, 1994) was the creator of the CP/M operating system and GEM Desktop graphical user interface, and founder of Digital Research Corporation.
		Kildall received his PhD in computer science from the University of Washington in 1972.
		In 1973, Kildall began work on a disk operating system in order to make PL/M a useful development enviornment, and ended up with CP/M. He founded Digital Research after his discharge from the Navy in 1976 and continued work on CP/M, which he originally sold in classified ads in the back pages of computer magazines.

	In memory of Gary Kildall
		Gary Kildall was a pioneer who brought order into the early chaos of the PC industry by providing focus, leadership and vision.
		Gary was a man of many passions, he was warm and open to those he loved, I shared many of his passions and I will share some of them with you.
		Gary frequently talked about the pleasure of watching the earth slip beneath our feet as we crossed the country, sometimes in excited conversation and other times silent for hour upon hour in awe at the beauty and uniqueness of the country we saw.

	Gary Kildall (John McSweeney)
		Gary Kildall is regarded by some as the man who made the microcomputer readily accessible to non-expert users.
		Kildall's claim that QDOS was CP/M plus a few minor deviations is generally unchallenged, except of course by Gates.
		He quashes the notion that Kildall failed to land the IBM deal because he was too busy flying his plane, a tale that has become legend.

		Kildall was one of the first people to see microprocessors as fully capable computers rather than equipment controllers and to organize a company around this concept.
		According to Kildall, the IBM representatives took the same flight to Florida that night that he and Dorothy took for their vacation, and they negotiated further on the flight, reaching a handshake agreement.

	Who Made America? \| Innovators \| Gary Kildall
		The descendent of Norwegian immigrants who ran a school for nautical navigation, Kildall was born in 1942.
		Kildall's first effort was to create a programming language, PL/M, that could be used to write applications for microprocessors.
		Gary Kildall's name is not known today, and Bill Gates's is, because Gates's Microsoft Corporation produced an operating system that was a variant of CP/M, called QDOS.

		Gary Kildall and the origins of the PC Join a tribute to Gary Kildall, one of the men who made the computer revolution possible because of his development of CP/M. technofile
		It was just a little computer, one that Kildall was experimenting with many months before there was ever an Apple, and 12 years before there was an IBM PC.
		Kildall had come up with CP/M -- Control Program/Monitor (he changed "Monitor" to "Microcomputer," once "microcomputer" entered the language) -- the first program that allowed a small computer to work with a disc drive.

		As of year 2007, Dr. Gary Kildall's operating system called CP/M is at least 31 years old, based on the earliest sales of CP/M in 1975-76.
		Kildall's company, Digital Research Inc., sold that OS and subsequent operating systems and development tools into the 1990's, until the company was acquired by a series of other companies.
		It covers Kildall and his colleagues up to their development of CP/M and the tools needed to run it the first time; and the earliest sales and subsequent development of the earliest versions of CP/M. This work has been in progress since 2004, as time permits and as I've been able to uncover more information.
