      I have to admit, I'm just "meeting" Terry through this, the second vid I've seen regarding his work. The first was a rant on Linus and the rest of the computing world. While it was apparent during his rant that he was faced with psychological issues, it was also apparent he was vastly intelligent. Additionally, and more importantly, I'm touched that everyone sees through it, and while recognising his challenges, also recognised his genius. We aren't as bad off as we thing we are. RIP Terry and thanks for everything.

    I remember reaching out to Terry just to see if he was OK, he seemed a bit scrambled at the time, and he was actually a genuinely nice person. Granted I have a bit of experience with schizophrenia after my best friend in highschool got it pretty seriously, so I have a high tolerance for psychosis, but he meant well. He was a genius trapped in a world of delusion and bad choices. The OS was nutty, but it was packed with interesting ideas and the poor guy actually deserved a bit of respect, not for making a functional OS, the thing was barely functional, but for actually trying out some genuinely interesting ideas. The beauty of science is, the experiment doesnt have to work to learn something from it, so its one of the great ironies of science that this schizophrenic religious dude was doing more science than most PhD weilding computer science departments will do in a lifetime. But oh man was he suffering. Schizophrenia can make life a living hell.

    Thank you for the review of Terry's OS . He evaluated things from his own unique prospective. when still in high school he was using a C 64 to do his calculus homework the teacher called him on it and he said but I wrote the program ...after explaining the program he was allowed to use it but still had to do 1 problem a day by hand . I tried to get him to write a game program to use a exercise bicycle interface I had made the faster you peddle the faster you man would go on the screen it was fun to out run the ghosts in packman and worked well with joust .. he looked at it and dismissed the idea " no one wants to exercise to computer games wouldn't even let me pay him to do it ... this was 1985 well before x box and Nintendo had any interactive games ( sigh.. what could have been ) The last picture you have of him on his left is what he called a shaper he made a 3D milling machine out of a dermal tool it worked well carving a bar of soap or balsa wood but wasn't smooth ( chatter from a flexible frame and a rotary file bit not a milling bit that he needed ) so he tossed it in a dumpster :( .. What he didn't realize was the mechanical problems were easily solvable ..the most amazing part of it was that he could give it a CAD drawing of a part and it would figure out the tool path so a self programming 3 D milling machine WOW !!! As a Millwright I can tell you that program was light years ahead of its time ... Terry Davis was my younger brother RIP Terry ... Kevin Davis

      Schizophrenia is one of the least understood conditions. A former neighbor of mine was institutionalized because his alternate committed armed robbery. I did not know he was schizophrenic until his mother and girlfriend came to clean out his apartment. And a more recent friend of mine has type of schizophrenia that it not too dissimilar from bipolar disorder but an okay personality and another that he himself is afraid of rather than the giant changes in mood.

How many people do you know are capable of writing any software that runs on bare metal x86, much less writing a compiler of their own, and then an entire operating system all my themselves? Those games weren't exactly triple A titles, but they ran well, didn't crash, and were written in a variant of C, all by one person. Imagine how much Terry could have accomplished if he had gotten the help he needed.

    I can completely get behind that 14th commandment! schizophrenia is terrifying, my late uncle was hospitalized for it for many years and when he took his meds he was amazing but every few months he would decide to stop without telling anyone and within a few days you would be able to tell very easily. He lived across the street from me at the end of a dead end street next to a thick woods. When he was off his meds he would see what he reffered to as "Werewolves" and he would stand at the edge of the tree line to the woods and scream at teh creatures he was seeing. A year before he passed my cousin (his oldest daughter) lost her 1.5 year old baby to SIDS and he basically spiraled out of control, stop meds completely, was hospitalized but refused to eat or drink and sadly his heart gave out in 2019.
