Yes, the good old days of CP/M (Control Program for Microcomputers) from Gary Kildall and the company was called Digital Research. Those were the days.

I drove past the old office / home of Gary (in Monterey) when I was out in San Fran for The West Coast Computer Fair one year. It was very sad to hear about his death back in 1994.
