>From: Guy Sotomayor <ggs at shiresoft.com>> I think you're mixing Lew with Don Estridge.  Don's team (of which Lew and Marc were part) were the "winning" team.  The other teams were *not* in Boca as I recall.

"Lew Eggebrecht was the Chief Architect for the IBM PC. He picked all the parts and put them together"
