John C. Dvorak's Whatever Happened to.... (original) (raw)

This site is the homepage for the Whatever Happened to... book where I will highlight interesting tales from the history of computing beginning with some early day exploits and highlighting the modern 1975-present desktop computing era. These are derived from the Whatever Happened to.. series of columns done in Computer Shopper between 1991-1993 and again between 1996 -1999. If readers have personal anecdotes they are encouraged to include them in the comments. I'd like to update as many of these stories with new information as I can.

Additional discussion with suggestion for new stories will be carried out on the Cage Match forums. I still would like to research and produce another dozen stories including whatever Happened to GEM, the Source, GNN, Lotus Improv and other moment in computing history.
