When Gary Kildall was putting the final touches on the Micro 73 it lacked a software best seller that would really put it on the map. Robyn remembered something that had briefly appeared in her mind after the Watergate alteration,  but before the  Apollo 17 alteration. When she described it to him  Kildall was intrigued and set to work.

The program he came up with was a cross  between a double-entry accounting worksheet and  the 'Battleship'  game. Columns were marked A through  Z, rows  were from  1 to  256, and  where the columns and rows intersected, they formed  cells designated A1, B9, C117,  and so  forth. The customer  could enter  data  or formulas  into any  one  of  these cells,  and  each cell  could reference data anywhere else on the worksheet. If the customer changed data in  one cell,  all  the dependent  cells would  be quickly recalculated. Gary called this program 'Matrix'.

If a businessman  wanted to  find  the answer  to the  question 'what will my long-term  profits look  like if  I buy  a second sheet metal cutting machine  today?' he didn't  have to  hire a programmer to write a special program just to find out. He could just purchase a Micro. With a Micro running Matrix  the fellow could sit in his office and fiddle with the numbers himself.

So when the  Micro 73  hit  the market  in the  spring it  came bundled with punch tapes containing Matrix and an assortment of other applications  such as a  simple text editor. There was an 8008  assembler to  allow savvy  customers to  create their  own programs for the Micro,  but in the  main, everyone  from small business owners  to the  CFOs  of  large corporations  went  to dealers and plonked  down five C notes for 'one  of those Matrix machines.' Every time they did, one of those five Benjamins was pure profit for Astrodyne. Three thousand units sold in '73.

Bill Gates developed a BASIC language interpreter for the Micro but as Robyn correctly foresaw it was too slow  and it had very few takers.

Intel offered their  next 8-bit  microprocessor with  plenty of time  to be  incorporated  into Astrodyne's  next computer. The 40-pin 8080 could address 64KB of memory all at once and it had four times the clock speed of the earlier chip. The new model of the Micro  switched  to  magnetic cassette  tapes  for  program storage and shipped with 16 KB of RAM. An external floppy drive was sold by a third party and Basic  Operating System Software, or BOSS, was written by  Kildall to  allow the Micro  to manage this device as well as any printers or  other peripherals. Soon after the Micro-74 actually hit the street, a four kilobyte 8080 interpreted BASIC was written by Bill Gates for the new version of Astrodyne's computer. It sold for $500 on floppy disks. Most potential customers considered that price to be outrageous. The first 'tappers' to appear made their name by  breaking the copy protection on Gates' floppies, much to his dismay. Apollo 19

H4 - CROWDED MOON NASA rolls out the Nova expendable booster for the much  larger payload  of  the  Apollo  18 mission. At the invitation of President Ford, Senator John Glenn (D-Ohio) took a hiatus from Washington to return to flight status with NASA. He flew on the Apollo 18 mission in a special non-partisan observer role for the United States  government. Glenn had authority to make deals  with the people  already on the Moon  who apparently were represented by Robyn Lokken. This was not public knowledge at the time. Glenn was not assigned  a role as  Command Module pilot or Lunar Module pilot, but he checked out on both. It was Richard Gordon  who  actually  commanded the  mission. He had already attained lunar orbit  as the  Command Module  pilot for Apollo 12 but never walked on the moon. He landed on the surface with Glenn and Fred Haise,  who had  almost walked on  the Moon once before for Apollo 13 but had to turn back around following an explosion. Vance Brand and William Pogue were space virgins. They stood port and starboard watch aboard the Command Module in lunar orbit for the three  weeks the teams were  separated. The Soviet Union transmitted to NASA the orbital elements for their Lunniy Orbitalny Korabl which parked over the Moon about a week before Apollo 18  arrived. They said the  craft was  currently unmanned and didn't want the risk of a collision, no matter how remote. The part about the  LOK being "currently"  unmanned was strange, but the Soviets refused to elaborate. Soon after Glenn, Gordon, and Haise landed, an electric truck identical to the one photographed by Harrison Schmitt arrived at the landing site and stopped. After that, the truck  driver found the  frequency the astronauts were using to talk to Mission Control and suggested, in English but with a Russian  accent, that they follow  him in their rover. Glenn and Gordon agreed to go, and  Haise was left behind to watch the Lunar Module. The route they took was like a long dirt ramp up the North Massif, but all the up-climbing took a toll on the battery  of the Lunar  Rover. At about the eight mile mark, Gordon got on the radio and said they'd have to turn around to recharge, or the  rover would  run out of  juice. The Russian voice suggested it wouldn't be a problem and they should keep going. After thirteen miles, with many  switchbacks, they rounded a hillock and  saw something like  a wide  garage door, which opened at the  command of the  lead truck. Both vehicles entered, and the garage door shut behind them. It took about an hour to fill the space with oxygen, then two men got out of the truck wearing jumpsuits and boots, nothing more. Aleksei Leonov and Oleg Makarov! Richard Gordon said. I recognize both of you from photographs in our briefing. I knew you were out here but I didn't know you were landing. Where's your LK? No LK, Commander, Leonov said. Astrodyne. We hitch ride down  here. There were brief introductions all the way around, then Makarov attached a power cable to the truck. He brought another power cable over to the Lunar Rover, and offered to plug it in, but first he had to convince Gordon it was safe. What sold Gordon was how the cable fitting was exactly tailored to fit the rover. Someone up here had done their research. The next space after the  garage was literally a locker room, with large lockers for the NASA crew to stow their pressure suits  and keep the  keys on  their person. Makarov said, This key  for peace  of mind,  no? And  the space after that opened on a balcony looking down upon the vast green interior of Taurus City,  lit by clever  sun reflectors  in the ceiling. Damn that air smells good, said Senator Glenn, taking a big breath. It better smell good, Leonov said. We pay for each lungful. They say, go  fetch Americans,  reduce  line item  on expense account.

Astronaut John Glenn and junior Senator from Ohio, reactived to flight status at the request of  President Ford to find out what the hell's going on up there on the Moon. Senator John Glenn, it really is an honor to meet  you,' Jill said. I'm not sure it's such an honor  anymore, he said ruefully. It seems I wasn't the first American to orbit the  Earth after  all. And you are? My name is Jill Pennell. If you were looking for Robyn, she's not here. Do you have authority to make agreements  with the United States? I remain in constant  contact  with one  who does. My companion Ambe has no such  authority but she must  attend this meeting, and she must also feed  her son Gordon, so  I hope you don't mind if  she nurses  him  right here. It's okay, that's natural. What's his name, if I might ask? Gordon Aspin, the same as the last name of your mission commander. And Aleksei Leonov, thank you for agreeing to be here  as well. This big boy is my own  son, Hunky. He's here because he's  so damn  cute, people can't resist doing whatever he  asks. I once told him  a story about a faraway kingdom where they treated a  princess the same way, but that was just to make her feel good. Hunky here is the real deal, that's how cute he is. Leonov and Glenn chuckled at this, but by the end of the session they would not find it funny at all. Jill also chose not to reveal that  Hunky had been born in 1974 but had  spent three  years growing up  in the  Land We Know, so  he was older  than one  would normally guess  from the calendar. Glenn said, This city  you  name Taurus  is a  truly amazing accomplishment, Miss Pennell, but what puzzles me is how you dug this big hole. I don't even see removed  soil piled up nearby. There should be mountains of it. We have a way to turn normal matter into what we call dark matter,  Jill revealed. We call it  dark  because  it  doesn't  interact  with  light. So chemistry doesn't apply to it anymore. It just goes away, sinks to the center of the moon or flies away into space. Works great for trash too. That is a very important discovery, Glenn said. You must share. Unfortunately, no.  We are  a  group of  very disgruntled American citizens, Senator Glenn. I've had to dodge federal bullets  myself,  for  one  thing. But think  of  the possibilities! Roads, tunnels, we could save taxpayers billions of dollars. I'm afraid I must insist  on this one  point, Miss Pennell. Astrodyne must share this discovery  with the American people. Nothing personal, but we  have  a variety  of ways  to encourage compliance. Mister Man, Hunky said, could you please stop bothering my mom? For you, son, anything. Sorry Jill, I withdraw my demand. There is one important thing, however. The Outer Space Treaty  of 1967  says non-governmental  activities, such as your group, obviously, must operate  under the approval and authority of a state which is signatory to the Treaty. I can tell you now he US would only extend such  recognition quid pro quo. Commander Leonov, do you  think Astrodyne could  be placed under the legal penumbra  of the Soviet  Union to  satisfy this treaty? No, I think this  request impossible, out  of question, Leonov said. Mister Man, Hunky said to Leonov, Pleeeeeeese? Very adorable child, Miss Pennell. Tell you what. Give us photos and names of people here, birthdays, I take home to Star City, maybe Kremlin. Who knows? Maybe next Korabl bring Soviet passports.

NERVA - Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicle Application. NERVA XE design completed, but the program was defunded. Now the funding has been restored. The Apollo 20 mission will have  a modified CSM with a nuclear engine. To be left in cis-lunar space after return of command module capsule to Earth, to prevent radiation from raining down on Earth during reentry. B'nei Elohim suggest topping off the tanks of  propellant at Midway, so  the nuclear service module could return to Midway after ferrying the capsule on a descent  trajectory  to Earth,  then  handing the  service module over to the B'nei Elohim as payment in kind for allowing the US to keep an observer at Midway and another at Taurus City.

The Micro 75 was the  first to  have a modem,  sold separately. It crawled  at only  300  baud  but  users  were able  to  dial out to  Astrodyne  for  support and  downloads. The host  was the minicomputer in  Maple Valley. A 24 hour news  aggregator called Interworld  was  started  with free  access  for  anyone owning a Micro. For the marquee  application on  this version, Gary Kildall's  and  his  stable of  five  programmers  created WordBoss, the first word  processor with  automatic hyphenation and paragraph justification, leaving the user free to just type. Dot-matrix printer support was also added. Every year the Micro became thirty  percent smaller  in  size,  yet the  price-point remained, as always, at $499. Twenty thousand Micros 75s sold, mostly to business and hobbyists,  but the public at  large was not yet aware of the growing world of micro-computing.

Every year the Micro became thirty percent smaller in size, yet. the price-point remained, as always, at  $499. Twenty thousand. Micros 75s sold,  mostly to  business and  hobbyists, but  the. public at large  was not  yet aware  of the  growing world  of. micro-computing A 4 inch floppy disk drive with 128KB of space. was incorporated inside the Micro  76. The cassette tape deck. was dropped, but it was still available as  an external device. for legacy software. BOSS was changed to  load from  floppy,. permitting fresh upgrades  to the  operating system. The 8080. chip was replaced by  the Zilog  Z80, an  improved aftermarket. clone. Astrodyne populated the motherboard  with 32 Kb  of RAM. and it still came  in at  $499. An optional GUI  called GUIDE. (Graphical User Interface with Desktop Elements) ran on top of. BOSS, in black and white But the first truly  'What You See Is. What You Get'  (WYSIWYG)  word processor,  WordGuide, was  the. big star of  the Micro-76  show. A spooler program  converted. documents for output on  dot matrix  printers exactly  as they. appeared on the  screen, allowing  for an  endless variety  of. fonts With a 1200 baud  modem built  right in, Micro  76s were. able to communicate with each other point-to-point rather than. just back  to  Astrodyne's  mainframe,  so  email,  data,  and. software could be  copied directly  between any  two machines.. That raised certain  legal issues. The US government ordered. Astrodyne to disable point-to-point file transfers  to prevent. piracy, but Astrodyne won in court using the  argument that it. was like trying to sue General Motors because  the getaway car. in a bank robbery happened to be a Chevy A quarter of a million. Micro 76 units were sold. Astrodyne bought out the whole strip. mall at the southwest corner of SR-169 and SR-516 in Washington. State, and built  a proper  business park  and replaced  their. minicomputer with big iron. Meanwhile the US blocked Micros for. export lest the technology aid the Soviet Union. Astrodyne was. flattered, but all this really  did was result in  many Micros. being manufactured off-shore rather than purely home-grown Bill. Gates tried to incorporate his own company as 'Micro-Soft' but. he was sued by Astrodyne due  to the similarity of  names with. their hardware and  forced Gates  to  change the  name of  his. company to Winspire. Nevertheless he kept going around saying. he was 'W-I-N-N-I-N-G' and he did make a  little money selling. his BASIC interpreter. It made the Micro easier to program and. was attractive to  schools,  but  it was  still  too slow  for. serious work. Serious programmers compiled binaries which were. directly executable by BOSS.

The Micro 77  came with  a 4800  baud modem,  just fast  enough listen to spoken word news commentary. The GUIDE interface used four bit color for the first time. A paint program was included to create images, but 16 colors  was not quite good  enough for photographs. A five  megabyte  external hard  drive  was  also available for another  $499. The 'killer' application  for the Micro-77 was a new markup language that could  turn simple text files into eye-pleasing  documents featuring  portions of  text highlighted in green with  an underline. If the user  placed a trackball cursor  over this  green text  and clicked,  they were taken to a new document that could be stored locally, or on the Astrodyne server, or even on  another Micro that  was currently online. Winspire reverse-engineered the Micro's operating system and offered IBM something they  called DOSS with  only cosmetic changes to BOSS. Gates dared Astrodyne to sue. Soon after that, IBM began to offer a competing 'Personal  Computer' using stock components and Winspire BASIC in ROM for all  software and disk operations. There was nothing like GUIDE yet, but IBM blew that off by claiming a GUI was just for people too stupid to remember a measly set of two hundred  DOSS shell commands and  all their options. IBM considered GUIDE a  toy for consumers and  not for serious computing. The federal government deliberately purchased only IBM PCs despite the  inferior quality and $1,500  per unit price, but  they were  very  nearly  the sole  customer. Gates offered a ripoff of Matrix  called Electronic Paper  whose sole difference was cells labelled by  rows and columns  rather than like in  Battleship. Judith Margolies had  failed  to  get  a software patent,  and refused to  do so on principle,  saying it was  like getting  a  patent on  the  quadratic formula. Gates, however, did get  a patent  for Electronic  Paper, then  turned around and sued Astrodyne. The government testified as a 'friend of the court',  but the  suit got  tossed out  by an  'activist judge' who  was 'legislating  from  the  bench' when  Astrodyne showed prior art. Meanwhile the Micro 77 moved over four million units. The Micro had  been  transformed from  a  mere toy  for hobbyists or  a business  tool  into  a genuine  appliance  for consumers. Prometheus 2 1977  Owen Garriot Stuart  Roosa Robert Crippen William Lenore  Bobko  replaced by  Crippen at  Midway. Lenore stays at Taurus with Musgrave from the previous mission. During the pass-down Bobko  reveals to  Crippen that  Midway is used to mine positrons ejected from the sun or from interstellar space which are trapped by the radiation belt and cluster in the "safe gap" where Midway lies. They are injected into molecules of C60, which traps them safely inside, and can  hold enough to make the molecules  up to nine percent heavier. C60 forms small brown mineral  chips. When heated  in  an  electric  ark  the positrons escape and render up enormous energy.

A five megabyte hard drive was built right into the hardware of the Micro 78 for permanent storage, and BOSS now booted from the hard drive. Graphics used 15 bit color, five bits each for red, green, and  blue,  for  a total  32,768  possible  colors. The internal modem attained 19,200  baud. Software, photos (mostly pornography) and  electronic books  were stored in  small pieces across many  computers in  what  soon  came  to be  called  the Swarm. Winspire's BASIC, which  still shipped coded  inside the Micro's system  ROM,  was  now  being  cloned  to  RAM  with  a third-party tap  called Ghostrider before being  ran, which made BASIC run at  least ten  times faster  and made  it, therefore, almost usable. Bill Gates, CEO of Winspire, complained  to the federal government that these transient RAM images represented a copyright violation, and the government responded  by trying to shut down Ghostrider. They soon found it was impossible to track down every copy of Ghostrider  in the Swarm. Instead they just seized the Astrodyne mainframe computer used to  index files in the Swarm for search. Locked out from their own offices in Maple Valley, Astrodyne relocated to downtown Seattle. In reaction to the federal  seizure  of  the  mainframe,  independent  tappers created automated scripts to cruise  and index the  Swarm. Now, instead of a single  vulnerable search  node, the  search nodes themselves become widely distributed. Astrodyne news and support services resumed after a  short interruption, with  the company itself becoming a normal user in the Swarm rather than a central node. Prometheus 3  1978  Edward  Gibson  Paul  Weitz  Charles Fullerton Don Lind  Crippen  replaced by  Fullerton at  Midway. Musgrave replaced by Lind at Taurus.

In 1979 Astrodyne rolled out a Micro with 32  bit color, giving over 24 million colors and finally reaching full photo quality. Onboard storage reached  64  megabytes and  the modem  attained 57,600 baud,  the  best  that could  be  obtained  by  dial-up. Millions of users  worldwide were  now 'buzzing  the Swarm'  to communicate with each other. Suddenly there was a global library of information available to anyone with a Micro and a telephone line. Meanwhile Winspire offered IBM a nearly identical clone of GUIDE called Windows. Suddenly IBM stopped calling  graphical interfaces mere toys. The IBM-PC was slashed in price to $1,200, hoping to jump start annual sales, which were still numbered in the  hundreds. And even those  paltry  sales were  mostly  for government computers that  were not  even used,  prompting some Winspire employees  to  call  it Windows  for  Warehouses  when they were out  of  earshot  of Gates. The government tried  a carrot- and-stick approach and offered  a $750 subsidy to school districts if they  purchased the  IBM/Winspire boxes. They cut existing subsidies to school districts if they insisted on going with Micros. Sales of  IBM's machine  jumped  to ten  thousand units. But Astrodyne sold a thousand $499 Micros  for every one unit sold by  IBM. Gary Kildall decided  to finally  call Bill Gates on his bullshit and filed a lawsuit  against Winspire for copyright infringement. Surprisingly, the  case  seemed to  be placed on a fast track. Kildall found himself in front of Judge Samuel Watanabe in only a few  months, not years. And if there ever was an open-and-shut case, this was it. GUIDE and Windows both consisted of exactly 51  files, and each file  was exactly the same size, but with slightly  different names. TASKSWAP.BIN in GUIDE became  SWAPTASK.BIN  in Windows. All Gates did  was change the name of the file called out by the GUIDE kernel when it needed to scoot itself out of memory, which  anyone could do with  a simple  editor  without access  to  the original  source code or recompiling. In the courtroom  Kildall displayed  the disassembled code of both operating  systems to show  they were absolutely identical except for when they called out one of the other fifty files. But the clincher was the Easter egg buried in the program by Gary Kildall for just this contingency. With Bill Gates' Windows product  running  with a  projection monitor  so everyone  in the  courtroom could  see what  he was  doing, Gary put the  trackball  cursor  in  the  upper  left  corner,  then typed 'GOTCHA'. Suddenly a slideshow began to  display cartoon versions of the GUIDE developers  and in bold letters  the text 'GUIDE Copyright  1979  Astrodynamics  Corporation  All  Rights Reserved'. And Gary  Kildall  sat down,  fully  expecting  the judge to ream  Gates'  ass and  hand  Winspire a  multi-million dollar penalty. Nothing like that happened. To be sure, Judge Watanabe acknowledged  that  copyright infringement  had  taken place. 'Mistakes were made,' he said,  pussyfooting around. The judge could hardly dismiss the case without  being slapped down himself in the  inevitable  appeal. But Winspire  was fined  a dollar. One dollar. Judge Sam explained that brisk competition was commonly held to be a public good, and  so Winspire, simply by offering an  alternative to  GUIDE and  breaking the  unfair monopoly in operating systems that Astrodyne currently enjoyed, had mitigated any damage to society  they might 'theoretically' have done to Astrodyne's intellectual property rights. Astrodyne took retaliatory measures that would begin to bite the following year.

For the Micro 80 the modem, hard drive and  floppy drives were. completely removed,  replaced  by  a  little  black  box  that. was simply a  locator  for  Chokhmah to  place  one  end of  a. wormline linking back to something  he called the 'Mother Node'. deep inside  his  stellar  body. Files were  transferred  and. stored totally encrypted by Chokhmah himself. Even the latest. BOSS operating system  and  GUIDE  windowing environment  were. downloaded from the Mother Node at each  boot, with on-the-fly. decryption unpacking  files  during run  time  and  absolutely. goring Winspire's cash  cow of  reverse engineering  Customers. could now  carry  just  the keyboard  unit  (with  a  battery). and a headset  and  use their  Micro as  a  telephone with  no. long-distance  charges,  or  as  a music  player. Storage and. bandwidth was effectively infinite and it was not even limited. by the  speed  of  light. This fact was  soon  exploited  by. stock Market traders  until federal  regulators caught  on and. implemented a sixty second delay for every trade Movies as well. as music began  to be  shared freely. Over a hundred million. Micro 80s  were sold. Thousands of  songs and  films  became. available in the Swarm for free, which soon impacted sales. The. music and  film  industry  realized  it  had  a  problem  with. a business  model which  depended  on  an artificial  scarcity. of content. Money sloshed  around from  lobbyists  and  soon. Ford's Attorney  General  ordered  Astrodyne  to  suspend  all. operations until they could be  cleared of being  accessory to. Intellectual Property theft Astrodyne complied with this order. without filing  for  a  stay  in  court  or  even  a  word  of. complaint, which all by itself sort of threw the government for. a loop. The company suspended  the  manufacture of  all  new. Micros in the United  States, but continued  to make  and sell. the units  internationally,  totally  unabated  The  value  of. unsold Micros already on retail  shelves in the  United States. doubled overnight and would only go up from  there. A thriving. Micro smuggling trade appeared along the  Canadian and Mexican. borders. Machines that fell  into disrepair  were cannibalized. for their black boxes to  be retrofitted into older  Micros or. repurposed into local servers tied  back into the  Mother Node. with older Micros networked to it. Micros were manufactured in. Mexico, smuggled across  the  border, and  arrived  by ad  hoc. package delivery methods that could not be traced  back to the. source With encryption firmly in place,  Astrodyne then rolled. out the concept of Microbux,  electronic money which  could be. transformed to and from hard currency using local couriers for. a nominal fee  that  included a  small  kickback to  Astrodyne. Tappers tried  their  luck stealing  Microbux,  but  Astrodyne. guaranteed customers against  any loss. They could certainly. afford to do  so,  since Micros,  as  always, remained  priced. at $499  and  the  profit  margin was  huge. No tapper  ever. broke Chokhmah's encryption in  any event  After this  leap in. technology the evolution of Astrodyne's hardware levelled off.. Micros continued to grew incrementally smaller year-over-year,. but the essentials remained the same. A classic Micro 80 would. continue to work with the  Swarm in  the 1990s and  far beyond. Meanwhile the United  States government  continued to  put all. their eggs in  the  Winspire basket. Redmond's systems never. approached the  technology  of  even the  Micro  78  and  they. remained more expensive by a factor of at least three. None of. them could access the Swarm. The Twenty-first Century arrived a. generation early to citizens of even the  poorest nations, who. communicated with one  another  using video  phones while  the. citizens of the United States remained mired in the 1970s as a. deliberate policy of the Ford Administration.
