Jennings, born in Bedford, England, in 1950, is an inventor, personal computing software pioneer, entrepreneur, and venture capitalist perhaps best known for having created Microchess, the first commercially successful chess program for microcomputer. Jennings moved with his family to Ontario, Canada in the early 1960s. He attended McMaster University from 1968 to 1971, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Physics. He received an MA in Computer History Museum 2 Peter R. Jennings papers X7876.2017 Physics from SUNY Stony Brook in 1972 and his MBA in Finance and Marketing from McMaster University in 1974. Jennings married his wife, Jane Barle, in 1973. Microchess, a chess playing application released in 1976, was one of the earliest and most successful commercially sold personal computing programs. Jennings started Micro-Ware Limited in 1977 to distribute Microchess. He then co-founded Personal Software in 1979 with Dan Fylstra. Personal Software was one of the first commercial personal computer software companies. Personal Software “published” – that is, manufactured, documented, packaged, marketed, and sold – programs written by program “authors” on a royalty basis. This software publishing, on the model of book publishing, was an important business approach in the personal computing industry. Personal Software was renamed VisiCorp in 1982 after it began publication of the first spreadsheet, the wildly successful VisiCalc. VisiCalc had been developed by Software Arts and the two companies would later be involved in a lengthy lawsuit. VisiCorp merged with Paladin Software Corporation in 1984 a few short months after the lawsuit was settled out of court. Paladin Software faced stiff competition and invested heavily in an ambitious integrated graphical software environment, VisiOn. The company faded at the end of the 1980s. After selling VisiCorp, Jennings remained a primary shareholder and board member. Jennings took part in a number of other business ventures ranging from founder to chairman to angel investor. He was involved with Gavilan Computer, Associated Venture Investors (AVI), Vasona Corporation, Vivid Systems, Personics Corporation, and Quantum Magnetics. He founded j.com in 1989 to market ham radio products, which was later sold to Ramsey Electronics. Jennings continues to advise and invest in technology companies and startups. Scope and Content of the Collection The Peter R. Jennings papers consist of business records, financial documentation, legal correspondence, published manuals and documentation, software, and a small amount of audio-visual material. Much of the collection consists of business records from companies that Jennings founded, including Micro-Ware, Personal Software, and VisiCorp, ranging in date from 1976 to 1985. Types of documentation include internal memos, internal and external correspondence, communication with shareholders, board of director meeting minutes, trademark registration documents, and administrative and staffing records. There are also materials pertaining to company strategy, such as market research reports and business plans. Other records include financial statements, quarterly reports, stock option and offering information, legal agreements regarding licensing and distribution, newspaper and article clippings, and notebooks belonging to Peter and Jane Jennings. There is information on the merger of VisiCorp and Paladin, as well as records from the lawsuit and settlement between VisiCorp and Software Arts. While most of these records pertain to Personal Software and VisiCorp, materials related to Microchess and Micro-Ware are scattered throughout the collection. A smaller portion of the collection relates to companies that Jennings worked with, in roles ranging from chairman to board member to investor. This section consists primarily of shareholder documentation, since Jennings became an investor in a number of technology companies. Other types of documentation include business plans and board minutes. Companies represented in this section of the collection include Gavilan, Vivid Systems, Vasona, Personics Corporation, Datawatch, Cosmos Computer Corporation, CrystalVision, Quantum Computer History Museum 3 Peter R. Jennings papers X7876.2017 Magnetics, Apple, Objective Software, AZ Technology, Associated Venture Investors (AVI), and j.com. Published documentation, such as books and manuals, comprises another significant portion of the collection. Examples of materials include manuals and textbooks about programming and programs on the Apple Macintosh, programming in UNIX, and documentation that accompanied hardware and software. There is also a box of material related to Forth, such as newsletters, manuals, and FORML proceedings, as well as PEAC documentation. There are also resources for personnel relations and management, including topics such as compensation guidelines, industry salary surveys, policy handbooks from other companies, and management and hiring workbooks. A small amount of audiovisual materials, such as VHS tapes of product demos and shareholder meetings, are scattered throughout. Finally, about a quarter of the collection consists of software. There are approximately 600 3 ½ inch floppies and 120 5 ¼ inch floppies, most of which are commercial programs for Apple II, Mac, and IBM PC. In addition, there are several boxes of packaged software. Arrangement The collection is arranged into 4 series: Series 1, VisiCorp corporate records, 1974-1984, bulk 1978-1984 Series 2, Gavilan and other companies, 1980-1997 bulk, 1980-1990 Series 3, Published materials, 1975-1996, bulk 1980-1989 Series 4, Software, 1978-2005, bulk 1984-1994 Indexing Terms Apple II (Computer)--Programming Computer chess Jennings, Peter R., 1950- KIM-1 (Computer)--Programming Microchess Visicorp Collection Contents Series 1, VisiCorp corporate records, 1974-1984, bulk 1978-1984 The VisiCorp corporate records series is made up of the administrative, financial, and historical materials related to Jennings’ company, VisiCorp (originally Personal Software). Meeting minutes, notes, and attachments are found here, as well as market analyses and research reports along with strategies the company planned and executed throughout the course of its life. Jennings also assembled a file made up of early documents related to the founding of VisiCorp. Much of the remaining materials have to do with shareholders and financial records, as well as some documentation on VisiCorp’s merger with Paladin and lawsuit with Software Arts. Series 2, Gavilan and other companies, 1980-1997 bulk, 1980-1990 The Gavilan and other companies series is made up primarily of corporate records created by companies other than VisiCorp that Jennings had some involvement with by way of being a Computer History Museum 4 Peter R. Jennings papers X7876.2017 founder, chairman, or investor. These include Gavilan, Personics, j.com, PEAC, Vasona, Datawatch, and others. As with the VisiCorp corporate records, much of the material is related to meeting minutes and stock options, but there are also some program descriptions, technical documentation, and files concerning other company products. It should be noted that there is also a small assortment of VisiCorp documents in this

  • Silicon Shores Corporation Company Backgrounder

    Silicon Shores Corporation Company Backgrounder

    Silicon Shores Corporation Company Backgrounder Company Overview Headquartered in Mountain View, CA Silicon Shores Corporation is the company overseeing operations of the Shoreline Lake Boathouse and American Bistro at the Shoreline Lake Recreational Area and Wildlife Sanctuary. Silicon Shores manages the facilities through a leasing arrangement with the City of Mountain View, which owns the Shoreline Lake park area. This private company, established in 2000, is incorporated in California. Christina Ferrari is the owner and President and entered into the relationship with the City in 2000. Given the origins of Shoreline Lake, the City of Mountain View’s transformation of 544 acres of junkyard, hog farm, two substandard dumps, low lying flood plains, and a sewage treatment plant into a nature preserve was quite an undertaking. Partnering with Silicon Shores ensured that the area can provide the services and amenities that the surrounding urban population and visitors would appreciate finding within a nature preserve. Vision & Mission The company’s goal for the Shoreline Lake area is to create an experience unmatched within Silicon Valley for residents and workers of the South Bay, and beyond. The centerpiece of the Park, Shoreline Lake is a man- made, 50-acre, salt water lake filled by waters pumped in from the San Francisco Bay that circulate back out into Permanente Creek. However, a densely populated, heavily-developed area surrounds the Park, which includes many well-known hi-tech firms (e.g., Google headquarters is right next door). Even so, Shoreline Lake, a safe and expansive waterway for many water sports, is also a wildlife sanctuary and home to many rare, migratory birds, such as the burrowing owl.

    Learning to Code

    PART ILEARNING TO CODE How Important is Programming? “To understand computers is to know about programming. The world is divided… into people who have written a program and people who have not.” Ted Nelson, Computer Lib/Dream Machines (1974) How important is it for you to learn to program a computer? Since the introduction of the first digital electronic computers in the 1940s, people have answered this question in surprisingly different ways. During the first wave of commercial computing—in the 1950s and 1960s, when 1large and expensive mainframe computers filled entire rooms—the standard advice was that only a limited number of specialists would be needed to program com- puters using simple input devices like switches, punched cards, and paper tape. Even during the so-called “golden age” of corporate computing in America—the mid- to late 1960s—it was still unclear how many programming technicians would be needed to support the rapid computerization of the nation’s business, military, and commercial operations. For a while, some experts thought that well-designed computer systems might eventually program themselves, requiring only a handful of attentive managers to keep an eye on the machines. By the late 1970s and early 1980s, however, the rapid emergence of personal computers (PCs), and continuing shortages of computer professionals, shifted popular thinking on the issue. When consumers began to adopt low-priced PCs like the Apple II (1977), the IBM PC (1981), and the Commodore 64 (1982) by the millions, it seemed obvious that ground-breaking changes were afoot. The “PC Revolution” opened up new frontiers, employed tens of thousands of people, and (according to some enthusiasts) demanded new approaches to computer literacy.

    Vaporware: Imaginary High-Tech Products and Real Antitrust Liability

    Vaporware: Imaginary H-igh-Tech Products and Real Antitrust Liability in a Post-Chicago World ROBERT PRBNTICE* I. INTRODUCTION In rejecting a consent decree in the antitrust case United States v. Microsoft Corp.,1 Judge Stanley Sporkin noted that "vaporware," the high- technology industry's marketing ploy of preannouncing products that do not exist at the time of the announcement and may never come into existence in anything like their described form,2 "is a practice that is deceitful on its face and everybody in the business community knows it." 3 In part because of his misgivings about Microsoft Corporation's alleged * University Distinguished Teaching Professor and Ed and Molly Smith Centennial Professor of Business Law, Graduate School of Business, University of Texas, Austin, Texas. 1 159 F.R.D. 318 (D.D.C. 1995), rev'dper curiam, 56 F.3d 1448 (D.C. Cir. 1995). The original complaint charged Microsoft with violating sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act in the market for personal computer operating systems for the x86 class of microprocessors. The complaint attacked three of Microsoft's marketing practices: (a) "per processor" licenses by which Microsoft required original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to pay a royalty for each computer the OEM sold regardless of whether it contained a Microsoft operating system; (b) "minimum commitments" distribution practices whereby Microsoft induced OEMs to commit to buy a minimum number of units of Microsoft operating systems under circumstances making it economically unattractive to install any non-Microsoft system; and (c) use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to discourage independent software developers (ISVs) from developing applications for competing operating systems.
