As an aside, In 1964 Cliff worked on the Apollo project for North American Aviation in Downey, CA focusing on the Apollo Guidance Computer. He was a believer in open source software.

Excellent article! I did not know many of these things about NEWDOS, and my very first computer was the TRS-80 Model I.

Thanks. I always thought it would have been neat to have a TRS-80. I remember seeing some of the later Tandy computers when I went with my Dad to Radio Shack.
