Jay spoke at an AmiExpo I attended in Chicago; he said he set out to design a computer that would be the best flight simulator ever.  The week prior he had flown a fighter (?Microsoft's) to 40,000 feet, started an outer loop and half way into it changed it to a 707 passenger plane. He said, "What a ride!"  There was genuine pleasure in his eyes.  Jay passed away from complications from his long standing problems with diabetes.  I think he took great joy in designing chips for people to experience fun.
