2/3/1986 -Vaporware: According to Computerhistory.org, Time Magazine used the term “vaporware” to talk about the delays Microsoft had delivering Windows. Interestingly, the term was created by a Microsoft engineer in 82, when he responded to a reporter’s question about MFST continuing to develop Xenith, an OS that depended on Open Source software. He said “basically, it’s vaporware”.

Shirley Ann Jackson, current President of Rensselaer Polytechnic University, worked at Bell Labs early in her career, where her research helped develop caller ID (among other things)
