Someone more important to the advent of personal computing (and computing in general) died within the same month of Jobs.

Uh... the C/Unix duo were pretty much completely non-important to personal computing. I mean, Unix as an OS saw basically zero use on non-programmer/academic work terminals until.... ever, because the most successful personal Unix product is... OS X (lol).
This is absolutely, crazy bat-s*** absurd. How can you say that C and Unix were unimportant to personal computing when quite literally everything about Apple is founded on C and Unix? When the entire Android platform is founded on Unix? When more programs that your average person with a PC uses are programmed in a C-based language or a Unix-based OS than any other language or OS out there, combined?
