Founding of Network General Corporation (1986)
On May 13, 1986, Network General Corporation was founded. Its founders were Len Shustek and Harry Saal, and their company offered, among other things, management solutions for computer networks. In 1997, Network General Corporation and McAfee Associates merged to form Network Associates. Headquartered in Menlo Park, California, the company's first product was a diagnostic tool called The Sniffer, which was used to analyze problems with communication protocols.
Here Comes System 7 (1991)
On May 13, 1991, Apple released its operating system called System 7 for Macintosh computers. It was the second major update to the Mac OS operating system. One of the main features of System 7 was integrated cooperative multitasking. The System 7 operating system was codenamed Big Bang and until 1997 could boast the title of the most used operating system for Apple's Macintosh computers. In addition to multitasking, System 7 also allowed file sharing, for example, and compared to its predecessor - System 6 - it also offered an improved user interface. System 7 was originally developed for Macs with processors from Motorola, but was later ported to Macs with PowerPC processors as well.
