BBC: Tributes to 'father of computing'

Computer: A History Of The Information Machine, Second Edition (The Sloan Technology Series)Microsoft founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen lead tributes to Edward Roberts, the "father of the PC", who died at the age of 68.

While we take computer, internet and other social network for granted, we should not forget how this was made possible by a couple of innovators and entrepreneurs.  Is interesting to see how Microsoft became what it is now.  All thanks to a simple person - Edward Roberts - who believed in them.

Do you have what it takes to spot such talents?
