User:Gnetwerker

The handle of a computer-industry veteran, who choses to be pseudonymous at this time.

Gnetwerker has, at various times, been a device-driver coder in UNIX and RT-11, written PASCAL code to control sawmills, developed a window system for an early workstation, written compilers for several microprocessors, developed real-time kernels, and debugged laser-printer software.

His computing history includes early development on UNIX and DEC PDP-11 systems in the 1970s and 1980s, microprocessor development in the 1980s, and directorship of a major industry software lab in the 1990s.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I'm glad to see somebody with your special knowledge and skills contributing. Thank you! It is valuable to have additional information on the history of computing (hardware related and OS-wise) and general software concepts. For example there is not yet an entry on laser printer.

A hint: There is already an entry on Central Processing Unit. You may use the text you wrote on Processor there and do a #REDIRECT Central_Processing_Unit command from the Processor entry.
