You're an idiot, Tim. Pedantic and obsessive, and idiotic as hell.

Gary Kildall was one of the original pioneers of the PC revolution. He was a
very creative computer scientist who did excellent work. Although we were
competitors, I always had tremendous respect for his contributions to the PC
industry. His untimely death was very unfortunate and he and his work will
be missed.
