We all owe a debt to Larry Tesler, who died in February at the age of 74. I meant to write about him in March but reality intervened. Tesler isn’t generally considered one of the founding fathers of personal computing but he’s certainly a contributing cousin, including features I guarantee you use every day. His story contains lessons galore—see if you can catch ’em all. Tesler was born in New York, and took an interest in computers as a kid when he learned they were being used to forecast elections.
