The '''[[NEC PC-9800 series]]''' ('''PC-98'''), were a family of computers made by [[NEC]] throughout 1982 to 2000. Despite using Intel x86 chips, [[#DOS|MS-DOS]] and [[#Windows 9x|Windows]], and many other superficial similarities, the series is not IBM compatible.

Terry A. Davis developed TempleOS as God's third temple.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141118011834/http://www.templeos.org:80/Wb/Doc/Charter.html TempleoSTempleOS.org Charter.]</ref> TempleOS had previous names (listed at the beginning of this section), TempleOS had it's final name change in mid-2013.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130703141455/http://www.templeos.org/ templeosTempleOS.org]</ref> Development ceased in 2018 due to Davis's death [[wikipedia:Terry_A._Davis#Death|Davis's death]].
