1981-82: Chief designer of office software, Datapoint Corporation, San Antonio, Texas.
TN's "Vortext" design (December
1981) is adapted as Datapoint's next-generation text system. Datapoint's Advanced
Technology division bundles this
design into their proposed "Road Runner" software package. The Road Runner
design is submitted to Datapoint management
in April 1982. Datapoint backs away from this project and abandons further technical
development in general, leading to
the company's speedy demise.
1983-4: Media specialist, Datapoint.
