UNIX PC, 1985




	• In 1985, AT&T marketed Convergent Technologies PC. This Motorola 68K-based personal computer ran UNIX System V release 2 and had one of the first GUI interfaces. With a 1200 bps modem, the UNIX PC had features to manage a personal telephone. • At a technical presentation at Bell Labs in 1986 in Columbus, Horton won a UNIX PC (similar to this one) as a door prize. The computer was named stargate, installed in Horton’s basement, and became the administrative hub for Stargate Information Services. #
