(It is in a sidebar; I will still attribute it to Gates.)
(I'd think mid-1980s with "s" wouldn't make sense for an article
written
probably before October 1985.)
So by "mid 1980", what would eventually lead up to the IBM PC was at
most _just barely_ getting started.
Right, but my recollection is that the original quote was "mid 1980s"
(i.e. round 1985), not "mid 1980".
