Great info Chuck. What systems did she end up working with post-XBS and what were here thoughts about them vs. Mesa?

  She went to Tandem after Xerox. Mostly to follow her manager and partly because it was painfully obvious to pretty much everyone that XBS didn't understand how to productize the computers and technology that PARC came up with. By then it was clear that Apple was going to do that with the Macintosh.

    That is cool. I wonder if she worked in the Tandem buildings on Tantau? It was in one of these buildings (post-Tandem, post-Compaq, post-HP) that I think Apple set up some iPhone radiation testing back when I was at Apple. The buildings had large Tandem red color panels on the front. The buildings are gone now, replaced by the Apple Visitor Reception Center.

      Yes, and Pruneridge, a perfectly good east-west street, now no longer goes through to Wolfe because of the Spaceship. Money talks.

        A favorite road on a running route of mine. I loved the tree lined street. I imagine those trees are gone now.
