John Bull on Nostr: Adam Osborne is a forgotten giant of computing. Steve Jobs first true rival and a ...
Adam Osborne is a forgotten giant of computing. Steve Jobs first true rival and a friend. A man who struggled with his identity: was he British, American or Indian?
In my new column 'The Crazy Ones' over at Every, you'll find a full history of Adam Osborne and the rise and fall of Osborne Computers.
The number of outlets prepared to pay for longform tech history journalism is tiny. So please do read, enjoy and spread the word... #computing #history #histodons
