I voted for Mitchy, after all the work Jay did with the development of the Amiga it was Mitchy who approved the designs and gave the seal of approval.  In all honesty, Jay should be in the Hall of Fame since back to 83 or even 82 for some of his work in the past.  Jay did a lot more for computers than just Amiga.  Though if it wasn't for Jay, we wouldn't have such an amazing fanatical "fanboy" group of zealots like we have now.  Imagine that.

:pint: :-D

Jay seems to be doing well with 24% of the vote (ahem)...

Mind you, it looks suspiciously like the founders of Cisco voted for themselves (1 vote each!)

What about a hall of shame to show us the people who should NOT have run a technology company?

Now that *would* be a close contest...  ;-)

I voted for Jay Miner and Sid Meier (I'm a fan of his). Someone
mentioned the Dragon computers. I have a Dragon 32 back home. I wrote
my first few lines of code on that thing. A great computer. I would
voted for Duncan Smeed as well, but unfortunately I voted
before reading about him.

Jay Miner definately needs to be in there. He should have made it in previous polls!

Anyone notice that Ted Nelson has a different check box (a circle) than the rest? When you select it, it removes the checks from your other selections. You can also not un-select it.

That's just rude. :-x

More than likely a "typo" with someone typing radio instead of checkbox in the html..
