Lobo Drives

In browsing my back email, I ran across one from a person who used to work at Lobo. Here is part of his reply (the Elephant Bar is a local restaurant and Lobo was Roger's pet wolf): "Roger may know most of the inside stories of the Max-80, but I worked pretty closely with the engineering department, being a technical guy. For example, the sillouette of Lobo was drawn by a Mr. Greg Hertzen (sp?) Greg wanted to use a red LED (indicating a bit of mysticisism to be associated with the machine), but they went with yellow (or was it green?) which was more in keeping with Max's color scheme. As I recall, Arleen Hertzen (sp?), who was Greg's wife worked mainly on the Preliminary Manual. The penciled revisions you mentioned may well be Arleen's. The guy who developed the Max-80, a brilliant man named Kirk Hobart, used to work as a consultant (I believe), out near The Elaphant Bar."
