Amaya Toman Although most Mac owners would not like to work with the Windows operating system on their computers, for some it is necessary to switch to this system from time to time for work or study reasons. It was for these cases that Apple introduced the Boot Camp utility in the past, whose arrival we will remember in today's episode of our Return to the Past. In addition, the birth of computer expert Cuthbert Hurd will also be discussed.

Cuthbert Hurd born (1911)
Cuthbert Hurd (full name Cuthbert Corwin Hurd) was born on April 5, 1911. Hurd was a mathematician who was hired in 1949 directly by IBM president Thomas Watson Senior. Cuthbert Hurd was also the second IBM employee to boast a PhD. Although Hurd's name is not well known among laymen, his work is certainly significant. It was Hurd who began urging IBM's management to enter the computing market, and he was also one of those who stood behind the company's difficult and daring transition to computer manufacturing. One of Hurd's first major successes was the sale of ten IBM 701 computers. This machine was the first commercial scientific computer, which was rented for $18 a month. Shortly thereafter, Hurd became manager of the team responsible for the development of the FORTRAN programming language at IBM. Cuthbert Hurd died in 1996.
Here Comes Boot Camp (2006)
On April 5, 2006, Apple released its software called Boot Camp. It is a utility that is part of the Mac OS X / macOS operating system and allows users to install the Microsoft Windows operating system in addition to the Apple operating system and alternatively boot from both systems. One of the great advantages of Boot Camp is its ease of use, which has allowed many beginners and less experienced users to install Windows on their Mac. After appearing for some time in its unsupported version for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, Boot Camp was officially introduced as part of the Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard operating system.
