I came across a cool series of podcasts, done by Adam Green, on the history of the personal computer software industry. Actually Adam told me about them 🙂 You can find them here as well as directly under the iTunes podcast section.

I just listened to the first episode, about software naming with some good stories about how Visicalc was named and the fact that Ashton-Tate was not named after a parrot called Ashton, and of course that Jeff Tarter is not retired.

p.s. Adam has a really interesting blog called “Darwinian Web”Also follow his escapades with Ruby
