*"GeekWire reports that Gary Kildall
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Kildall>, the creator of the landmark
personal computer operating system CP/M, will be recognized posthumously by
the IEEE for that contribution
<http://www.geekwire.com/2014/real-inventor-uws-gary-kildall-father-pc-os-recognized-landmark-contributions/>,
in addition to his invention of BIOS, with a rare IEEE Milestone plaque
<http://news.cs.washington.edu/2014/01/25/ieee-to-honor-uw-cse-alumnus-gary-kildall-with-milestone/>.*

I started with CP/M, and thought it superior to DOS in several ways.
