CDC was in the middle of a reorganization then and personnel cuts were numerous. Atari in its help-wanted ads actually stated something to the effect of "no mainframe programmers need apply". A friend who was turned down by Atari went on to work on the programming for Commodore's scientific calculator. I remember her showing me the prototype--basically a plywood chassis with a keyboard, display, some PC cards and a rat's nest of wires... Does anyone still have a Sinclair or Commodore digital watch? I built one of the do-it-yourself Sinclair digitals, but it failed within a couple of months. My wife still has a couple of National Semi watches that have long since died from corrosion caused by perspiration--and I suspect that's what did in my Sinclair. I was cleaning out an old filing cabinet and came across a section from the Mercury News advertising the Commodore watch for $16.95 at Mr. Calculator--your choice, white or yellow with leatherette strap. Mr. Calculator would keep the watch adjusted free of charge for life. Cheers, Chuck
