Philip Don Estridge
Philip Don Estridge (1937–1985) was in charge of the
development team, which produced the original IBM
Personal Computer. That is why he is also called ‘The
father of the IBM PC’. After he published the specifications
of the IBM PC, an entire industry of hardware
manufacturers of IBM PCs became a reality.
