Terry A. Davis
|
|
|
Notorious American Programmer who started development for TempleOS in 2003 after a brutal series of manic episodes which left him hospitalised. Davis is a former atheist who believes that he can "talk with God" and that God told him the operating system he built was God's third temple. According to Davis TempleOS is of 'Divine' intellect due to the inspired nature of the code. According to Davis, God said to create the operating system with 640x480, 16 colors display and a single audio voice.
