your efforts were not in vain good dr. it's unfortunate that we don't have the technology to cure death but rather we have quite the opposite. RIP

So THIS is the man to blame for all the pain and suffering caused by windows/microsoft ?

RIP

Still remember Adventur on Altair. Maybe not the first, but surely a milestone of computer games.

Can't believe how cruel some of you can be. Respect this man, he created the damn thing you're typing your comments from!

Good Bye, thx for all the help on this troubled world.

You wrote "If Gates innovated from Roberts, ...".
Bill Gates didn't. They did two entirely separate things. Dr. Roberts did the hardware and Bill Gates did the software.

And together they changed the world.

Thank You Ed Roberts for the gift you have given us all, who live the life of computers. You will be missed in this world, and know you will change the next world you move on to.

Thank you ed
