Like, sure, there's other early villains in tech, but his attitude that software was HIS and if you used it you were STEALING (never mind he "stole" the design, and the computer time he used to make his BASIC), is what went wrong.
IBM was horrible but couldn't control anything past their mainframes.
If we'd all risen up then and guillotined him, maybe VCs would've happened anyway but maybe not.
He's #1 on my time travel hit list.
