| Mar 31, 2017 at 3:30 | comment | added | hotpaw2 | IIRC, this is not a correct answer. Jay wanted to clock the 68000 CPU faster, but was talked out of it to keep the custom chip designs simple, while producing more accurate NTSC video output timing than the Apple II or Atari 400/800. | |
| Jan 25, 2017 at 19:03 | comment | added | cbmeeks | everything is arguable. But, until the world decides what "personal computers" even means, there can be no "father" of them. My point is that, while Miner was a rock star, Chuck Peddle and Bill Mensch contributed to that fictitious list ever bit as much. In fact, many people did. Even...dare I say it...Steve Jobs. | |
| Jan 25, 2017 at 18:57 | comment | added | T.E.D. | @cbmeeks - I did pretty clearly say that part was arguable. Buy me a beer sometime and I'll happily hold up my end of the argument though. :-) | |
| Jan 25, 2017 at 18:55 | comment | added | cbmeeks | While I agree that Jay Miner was brilliant and contributed to the evolution of computers, I wouldn't agree he was "the father of home computing". I would put Chuck Peddle higher in that list than Jay Miner. Bill Mensch too. | |
