Far from California’s homebrew counterculture, a visionary outside Salt Lake City created a fully integrated computer in 1975. Mike Wise’s scrappy company, with its sharp team and big heart, vanished only two years later, plagued by delays and other challenges. Sphere is today remembered unfairly as a footnote, but Ben will make the case that this early micro looked
firmly forward from the hobbyist world into serious computing. A historical and technical
presentation, including a demonstration of Sphere’s ambitious platform.
