1989 presentation by Jay Miner

I just stumbled across this today: Jay Miner, from 1989

Takes you all the way back, doesn't it?

Imagine how things might be if C= had actually listened to him?

Man was a genius.

Commodore management sucked.

Good job the chip layout engineer pointed out the hole in the chip if they dropped HAM

Jay was awesome. I would have loved to have met the guy.

So Jay wished he'd used chunky pixels and was looking forward to UNIX... I like the guy

I always rather liked the idea of hybrid pixels. Essentially a planar system where a plane can be more than 1 bit deep. A single "plane" of 8-bits would be equivalent to traditional 256-colour chunky pixels.
