And after getting kicked out by the venture capitalists sold of all

Seymour Cray, along with Bill Norris and Jim
Thornton and others
left Remington Rand/UNIVAC after Rand bought the near-bankrupt ERA.
Apparently, the work environment at Rand was felt to be stifling.
Norris had all of the Navy connections and was a great marketer,
so bringing some of Rand's engineering talent along was a natural.
Interesting.
I guess I thought that since Seymour left CDC to form Cray Research,
that meant that he was more of an employee at CDC and had less
influence
on how it operated as a company.? I would have assumed that someone
that
was a founder would have had more influence and tried to improve
things
before splitting off and forming yet another new company.
