not to mention a couple of other people....but that's an old story and best left forgotten :)


Perhaps, but what the heck.
Hard to forget Medhi Ali, who personally screwed up the deal to sell re-branded A3000's as 68K Sun workstations. If not for him, the deal might have provided the boost at the time to finish the AAA chipset and get a lot more hardware to places that were happy to buy non-clone machines. Look at the competition at the time:

( 9-inch (23 cm) monochrome CRT display, 512×342 pixel resolution, and 4 megabyte (MB) memory limit, for those who were not there; no kidding)

(what more can be said, except why? why? why? did Billy G win)

I'm afraid McEwen is not even in the same league.
