H. Edward Roberts, A PC Pioneer For The Ages

摘要

A recent issue of Time magazine included the obituary of H. Edward Roberts. As many of you may know, Ed authored the famous article in Popular Electronics on the Altair 8800. When I read the obit, it brought back a flood of memories of my first editorial job in the electronics industry.rnArt Salsberg, then editor-in-chief at Popular Electronics, hired me as a technical editor in September 1980. Though more than five years had passed since the publication of that watershed article, Art let me know about it from day one on the job. Both he and Les Solomon, a technical editor at the time, were instrumental in bringing it to fruition.
