Guide my keystrokes, Keep my programs alive, Protect me from viruses, Back up my drive.

The X68000 (X68k for short) was a home computer from Sharp that was sold almost exclusively on the Japanese market. Therefore, all original programs and the operating system are in Japanese, which prevented it from being distributed outside of Japan.

It was launched in 1987 as the successor to the Sharp X1, and the last models came onto the market in 1993. The computer even went into standby mode at the push of a button, giving applications time to shut down properly and write data to the hard drive.

Computer pioneer Grace Hopper running programs on a Univac I computer in 1952.

Hopper wrote the Univac A-0 compiler that allowed more abstract instructions to be converted into machine-runnable code, widely accepted to be the first computer language compiler ever created.
