For a while I've had a nagging residue of a memory that I once heard
that Bill's Mum was a Director of IBM when they picked DOS over CP/M.
Yes children, I was already at work when the IBM PC came to the UK.
I decided at lunch time to try to find out if this was accurate since
noone else I've asked could remember the story. It isn't (quite) true
but what I found was even more interesting.
