In the fall of 1981 I wrote a program on an Osborne to catalog floppy disks. I submitted my program an it was accepted. TI called it the Floppy Disk Librarian, but IBM said floppy disks were to be called diskettes. And so in fall of 1982 it was released as the Diskette Librarian.

I was very excited when I saw it for sale in a Computerland store. It sold for $40 so my royalty was $4 per copy. It was basically obsolete when the IBM XT came out in 1983. In 1984 I used my IBM royalties to buy a Mac and also buy an Apple Lisa for software development, an expensive device.
