This week/day in tech history 2/3/1986 -Vaporware: According to Computerhistory.org, Time Magazine used the term “vaporware” to talk about the delays Microsoft had delivering Windows.

He said “basically, it’s vaporware”. Black History Month Mark E Dean, IBM Fellow, helped invent the PC (holds 3 of the original 9 IBM patents). Linked article (looks to have been written around 2000) calls him an IBM “idea man”, and his pet project was an electronic tablet.
