         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.
