Seattle Computer Products (where tim wrote dos) is right across the street from icm.museum in the same business park. We have a gazelle on display which boots dos 1.25. Tim worked at Microsoft and extensive modifications and development were done to make dos suitable for the IBM PC launch. The image shown is fairly far removed from what dos was like prior to Microsoft purchasing it and improving it.

Did you know Microsoft didn’t develop MS-DOS, but bought it off of a programmer named Tim Paterson? Tim Paterson (born 1 June 1956) is an American computer programmer, best known for creating 86-DOS, an operating system for the Intel 8086.

I was messing around with my Alpha Syntauri Synth, a guitar, and some effects pedals a while back, dropped the tracks on SoundCloud, and promptly forgot about them. Enjoy a couple weird tracks! soundcloud.com/mechanicjay/set

Dwayne Johnson plays coy when asked about if he’d run for President. “It’s wild, man. I’m always honored when people ask that. I love what I do. I love storytelling. But yeah… we’ll see” (Source: variety.com/2025/film/awar…)

The astounding part is getting an hour of runtime on damn near 20 year old battery.
