Rolex Computer God: H. Edgar Roberts Inventor Of The Personal Computer


Rolex Computer God: Dr. H. Edgar Roberts
Inventor Of The Personal Computer
Now Belongs To The Ages

H. Edgar Roberts passed away yesterday at age 68, and he was best known for inventing the Personal Computer. The New York Times has a great story on his amazing life, which I highly recommend. In the photo of Roberts below we see him posing in 1997 with his Altair 8800 and he is wearing his two-tone Rolex Submariner.
