MachineCode | 159 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I read the site posted in above and learned a lot. It's written by one of the developing team's daughters who found all her father's research and documents. It's fascinating how Chuck Peddle just rounded up his co workers at Motorola, started a new company from scratch and created a product that revolutionized an industry and changed the world. You could never pull that off nowadays. I also had no idea that they did all this in Valley Forge, PA, which fills me with even more regional pride. RIP Chuck Peddle. Your daring to dream will echo for generations to come. If not for you, we might not even have the topic upon which this forum is based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
