Bikes: Bikes??? Thought this was social media?!?

Been ‘organizing’ and minimizing the bike stuff…..

……including straightening the room where much of it was junked. Under some stuff and under the coffee table where stuff resided - I found a project my kids told me to accomplish - from the last time (years ago) when I cleared some useless accumulated old business remembrances.

Wasn’t sure where to post - here or 65+ thread. Or Foo. But this sticky is seldom visited so here it is gentlemen -

First commercially available, desktop ink jet printer. Early 1980s. Sslightly ahead of HP in the market. Quiet printing, no 'wire dot matrix' hammering. I was manufacturing manager (for print head and ink supply) and the customer facing asst QA manager. We got sold to a bigger company who folded it 2 years later. Wish Texas Instruments had won the sale.



Then it was on to data storage hardware - thin film data recording heads - started as wafer manufacturing manager. An ex-IBM start-up then an overtaking competitor. The gray sign I made, not directed so much at my fab operators as the silly engineers trying to change established protocol without full authorization.


These might be finished in a shadow box. Would also have to do one from the earlier jobs at Intel.

Anyone else display (lavishly) their employment historical memories?

show your stuff. even if rough.
