Gerry N2GJ has sent you a Pocket Express? News Article


GJ says: I SO wanted one of these Altairs in the 1970s.

Developer of early personal computer dies in Ga.


ATLANTA - Dr. Henry Edward Roberts, a developer of an early personal  
computer that inspired Bill Gates to found Microsoft, died Thursday in  
Georgia. He was 68.

Roberts, whose build-it-yourself kit concentrated thousands of dollars  
worth of computer capability in an affordable package, inspired Bill  
Gates and his childhood friend Paul Allen to come up with Microsoft in  
1975 after they saw an article about the MITS Altair 8800 in Popular  
Electronics.

Roberts, an ex-military man, later went on to careers as a farmer and  
a physician, but continued to keep up with computer advances: He  
recently told Gates he hoped to work with new, nanotechnology-enhanced  
machines, according to son David Roberts.

"He did think it was pretty neat, some of the stuff they're doing with  
the processors," said David Roberts, who confirmed Gates rushed to  
Georgia Friday to be with his mentor.

Roberts died in a Macon hospital after a long bout with pneumonia,  
according to his family.

"Ed was willing to take a chance on us - two young guys interested in  
computers long before they were commonplace - and we have always been  
grateful to him," Gates and Allen said in a joint statement released  
Thursday. "The day our first untested software worked on his Altair  
was the start of a lot of great things. We will always have many fond  
memories of working with Ed."

The man often credited with kickstarting the modern computer era never  
intended to lead a revolution.

Born in Miami in 1941, Roberts spent time in the U.S. Air Force and  
earned an electrical engineering degree from Oklahoma State University  
in 1968, according to information provided by his family.

He later parlayed his interest in technology into a business making  
calculators; when large firms like Texas Instruments began cornering  
the business, Roberts soon found himself in debt, David Roberts said.

Meanwhile, he was gaining an interest in computers - at the time,  
hulking machines available almost exclusively at universities.

"He came up with the idea that you could have one of these computers  
on your own," said David Roberts, adding his father expected to sell a  
few units. "Basically, he did it to try to get out of debt. "

Roberts himself would later describe the effort as an "almost  
megalomaniac kind of scheme" that he pursued out of youthful ambition.

"But at that time you know we just lacked the, eh, the benefits of age  
and experience," Roberts said on a program called "Triumph of the  
Nerds" that aired on PBS in 1996. "We didn't know we couldn't do it."

His son described his father as a tinkerer who surveyed his friends  
before building his personal computer.

"My assumption was that there were a bunch of nuts out there like me  
that would like to have a computer," Roberts told the Atlanta Journal- 
Constitution, in a 1997 interview. "To engineers and electronics  
people, it's the ultimate gadget."

The Altair was nothing like the ultra slim laptops of today: Operated  
by switches and with no display screen, it looked like little more  
than a metal box covered in blinking, red lights.

"In the early days it was pretty useless. People just bought it  
thinking that it would be neat to build a computer," Gates said in a  
video history interview with the Smithsonian Institution.

Roberts founded Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems, which  
sold the kits. A young Gates and Allen would later found their  
fledgling Microsoft firm in Albuquerque, N.M., where MITS was based,  
and provide a computer language that helped hobbyists program and  
operate the Altair.

The men would eventually feud after Gates and Allen began selling  
versions of BASIC - or Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code  
- created for Altair to competitors, according to the 2003 book,  
"Leaders of the Information Age."

David Roberts said the men had since overcome their differences, and  
his father had remained an influence in both their lives.

He sold his company in 1977 and retired to a life of vegetable farming  
in rural Georgia before going to medical school and getting a medical  
degree from Mercer University, in 1986.

Roberts worked as an internist, seeing as many as 22 patients a day,  
his son said. But he never lost his interest in modern technology,  
even asking about Apple's highly anticipated iPad from his sick bed.

"He was interested to see one," said Roberts, who called his father "a  
true renaissance man."

A funeral is planned Monday, in Cochran.

Guys,

 

                Every now and then, I end up buying something on the spur of
the moment that I end up discovering I really have no use for!

 

                I grabbed a brand-new Yaesu FT-270R at Timonium, but
discovered I really don't need it (should have waited and got the Wouxun
2M/220 model).

 

                As I said - it's brand-new (1 week old) - it's a waterproof
2M monoband HT.

 

                I'm looking to get $100.00

 

73

 

Scott, W2SJW

Full coverage can be heard on reflector 9877.

Reflector 9877 is a "listen only" channel so your local traffic won't 
interfere with shuttle traffic.

The shuttle's STS-131 mission to the International Space Station is 
scheduled to lift off at 6:21 a.m. EDT, 1021 GMT on Monday, April 5, 2010.

Mission audio starts at 0000 GMT.

Node 8490 is on line. Nate no change on this end.

Enjoy!

Help us test the W5KUB.Com ham radio video broadcast. We broadcast live 
streaming video and audio of hamfests. We will be broadcasting the 
Dayton Hamvention in mid-may but our site is up and running 365 days per 
year with recorded video of ham related activities.  In addition to the 
video, we have a chat room where everyone can chat with the W5KUB gang 
or other hams around the world. We are viewed in approx 150 countries 
each year during our live broadcast.

Again this year we will be giving PRIZES to lucky viewers.  GRAND PRIZE 
this year is a Yaesu FT-950 HF/6 mtr transceiver and if the grand prize 
winner is logged in at the time of announcement, they will also win a 
VX-170.  Other prizes include Heil microphones, diawa wattmeters, LDG 
auto tuners, weather stations, baluns, comet antennas, G5RV antennas, 
Ham hats, QSL cards, to mention just a few. See our web site for a list 
of all prizes and rules.

We converted from media player to Flash media this year and need your 
help to log in to the site and help us test the capacity.
The site is http://w5kub.com

Thanks and good luck on the prizes,

Tom W5KUB

note: grand prize is only available to U.S. hams because of government 
regulations in different countries. International hams can still win all 
the other prizes that are listed.

Drew, Please forward to the list (s)

With thunderstorm season approaching I am trying to get our UPS backups 
working. They are very useful to keep our repeaters and computers up in 
case of brief power interruptions. Some of the computers need to be 
manually reset if power goes out at all. Presently, our main UPS can be 
used at reduced (time) capacity. The other one is out of service. If 
anyone has access to good used gel cell batteries we could use at least 
one 17 AH, or 34 AH 12 volt standard size. For the other UPS we need 3 
small (7AH?) 6 volt batteries. We also will take donations of dead UPS?s

 DVRA to Explore History of the ?Pole Farm?



TRENTON, NJ ? April 26, 2010    The May 12th meeting of the Delaware Valley
Radio Association will feature a talk on the history of the Lawrenceville
AT&T shortwave radio station that was located at what is now part of Mercer
County Park Northwest.  Developed to facilitate international radio
communication, the facility was known to local residents as the ?pole farm?
due to the numerous wooden antenna supports that appeared to be growing from
the ground.  Dennis Waters of the Lawrence Historical Society will be making
the presentation.



The public is invited to attend. The DVRA meets the second Wednesday of each
month at 7:30 PM at Our Lady of Good Counsel Church, 137 West Upper Ferry
Road, West Trenton, NJ.  The church is located one-quarter mile west of the
intersection of routes 634 and 579, and is just south of Mercer County
Airport.



With over fifty active members and a fully equipped radio station, the
Delaware Valley Radio Association is one of the nation?s oldest radio clubs,
having been founded in 1930.  Persons interested in learning more about
wireless, electronic technology, or Amateur Radio are encouraged to visit
the club?s website at www.w2zq.com or attend any regular meeting of the
club.



 For more information, contact Gary Wilson at 609-890-3370.
