Abstract
In the first of this two-part series, these memoirs trace the software industry´s beginnings back to the early struggles by software firms such as Applied Data Research as they tried to compete against IBM, the computer industry´s Goliath. The author identifies the questions raised, from the antitrust suits and related issues, that led to IBM´s unbundling in 1970
