platform Another term for computer hardware, including microcomputers, workstations, and mainframe computers, or for underlying software, like an operating system, that provides services to layered software.
Operating Systems #2 - The introduction and widespread acceptance of workstations and microcomputers during the 1980's essentially standardized the most popular operating systems. The IBM and IBM-Clone market went with MS-DOS starting in 1982.
Lee (1991) described many of the advantages of videography: (1) imagery can be captured by microcomputer for immediate use; (2) in-flight error-proofing can be done; (3) narrow-band filters for fine spectral resolution can be used; ...
The first version of ERDAS was launched in 1978 on Cromemco microcomputers based on the 8-bit Z80 CPU running the CDOS operating system.
The second generation of microcomputers - those that appeared in the late 1970s, sparked by the unexpected demand for the kit computers at the electronic hobbyist clubs, were usually known as home computers.
what costs $1 to compute in 1989 would have cost $10 in 1983 and $100,000 in 1959
