At the Second West Coast Computer Faire, he and Howard
Fullmer, his chief
engineer (also dead) presented a paper towards standardizing the bus.
This is a double blow.. not only George but Howard too. I did some
firmware work for them in the early 80's and always thought of George and
Howard as the models of the kind of engineers I wanted to be. The
conversation I most remember with them was when we spent a hour with a chair
and a piece of wood trying out ideas for a foot-operated mouse. This must
have been just after Mouse Systems was showing their optical mouse at the
WWCF.
