Allen, the co‑founder of Microsoft who helped usher in the personal computing revolution and then channeled his enormous fortune into transforming Seattle into a cultural destination, died on Monday in Seattle. He was 65. The cause was complications of non‑Hodgkin’s lymphoma, his family said in a statement. The disease recurred recently after having been in remission for years. He left Microsoft in the early 1980s, after the cancer first appeared, and, using his enormous wealth, went on to make a powerful impact on Seattle life through his philanthropy and his ownership of the N.F.L. team there, ensuring that it would remain in the city. Mr. Allen was a force at Microsoft during its first seven years, along with its co‑founder, Bill Gates, as the personal computer was moving from a hobbyist curiosity to a mainstream technology, used by both businesses and consumers. When the company was founded, in 1975, the machines were known as microcomputers, to distinguish the desktop computers from the hulking machines of the day. Mr. Allen came up with the name Micro‑Soft, an apt one for a company that made software for small computers. The term personal computer would become commonplace later. The company’s first product was a much‑compressed version of the Basic programming language, designed to suit those underpowered machines. Yet the company’s big move came when it promised the computer giant IBM that it would deliver the operating system software for IBM’s entry into the personal computer business.

We had raised $90 million dollars in investments in our first nine months of operation, August of 1986 to June of 1987. One of my clients was Reginald Pattey and his wife. Reg was an executive for RCA Corporation, which later became Burhle Industries. Reg had informed me that Harold Krall was forming a new company, which was later named Cardinal Technologies, and asked me to see if there was an opportunity for me to fund the start-up. Now, also in the mix was a close college friend of mine named Tom Circe, who had taken over his father's position as Director of Personnel at RCA. Now, of course it never came to fruition because of me blowing the whistle on International Signal and Control, or ISC in June of 1987. Fast forward to the beginning of Advanced Media Group and my work at American Helix at 1857 Colonial Village Lane, Lancaster, PA, or Dale High's Greenfield Industrial Park. For the record, American Helix was funded through my company Financial Management Group, Ltd., when Dave Deering solicited Scott Robertson for financing for American Helix after a deal with an Angel Investor fell through.

    Memorial Tributes: Volume 22 Copyright National Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved. Memorial Tributes: Volume 22 PAUL G. ALLEN 1953–2018 Elected in 2005 “For contributions to the creation of the personal computer software industry and the development of innovative technologies.” BY WILLIAM H. GATES III My friendship with Paul started with a computer. I was in 8th grade, Paul was in 10th (although he seemed a lot more than two years older to me, because he was tall and had a really cool beard). Our school had just purchased a teletype, which con- nected to a remote mainframe through a phone line. The ma- chine had a typewriter-style keyboard and no screen—and we were obsessed with it. Since it was so expensive to use—$40 an hour!—the only way for us to get computer time was by exploiting a bug in the system. We eventually got busted by the company that licensed the machine, but that led to the first official partner- ship between Paul and me: we worked out a deal with the company where we could use computers for free if we would locate problems. Once we had overcome the hurdle of paying for computer time, we spent just about all our free time mess- ing around with any machine we could get our hands on. I couldn’t have asked for a better first business partner than Paul. He was a big thinker, and he was great at solving diffi- cult problems. The first major project we took on together was something we called the Traf-O-Data, a machine that would analyze the information gathered by traffic monitors.
