Well, I for one am not afraid to admit, there have been a couple of times when I figure I would have been better if I had stayed home... Only one or two, but it has happened. |

Brings back memories of my work at Bell Labs, about 20 years ago, as a CRT monitor design engineer. I worked with a West Coast company, OCLI, on a custom CRT panel with an AR coating. The process was great for no reduction in display resolution and anti-reflective properties. The disadvantage, cost. The panel added about 20 bux to an already too expensive, custom size CRT. The zero loss is resolution was just not appropriate for a plain jane alpha-numeric display. Now for something like medical monitors it was justified. I finally convinced marketing that a much less costly acid etch process applied directly to the CRT glass was appropriate. |

I finally convinced marketing that a much less costly acid etch process applied directly to the CRT glass was appropriate. We built sputter deposition equipment for Tectonics, applying a conductive coating to the inside of ceramic CRT tubes. That technology was obsolete before it went to production, and a spin-off was started doing electroluminescent displays. We built equipment for them as well, and the company became what is now known as "PanelVision", a major supplier of flat panel screens. OCLI ? Very technically capable in their day, but a terrible company for an equipment manufacturer like us to deal with. They had quite a reputation of routinely sending out requests for technical proposals for systems they said they were going to buy. They would then review all the technical approaches taken by the various responders to meet OCLI's requirements, select the best of them, and then build the equipment themselves, using the technical specifications supplied by those of us that responded. In all the years that we dealt with them, they never bought a system from anybody. We have had more recent contracts with JDS Uniphase, the successor to OCLI. Eisboch |

Speaking of things built, about 35 years ago, I was in NYC with a DC client, attending a meeting. The guy was president of an international union. We had some time to kill, and he insisted on taking me to the Empire State Building. Big secret. We got to one of the middle floors, went to a utility closet, he opened it, and there, chiseled into a bit of construction stone, was his first initial and last name, and the date. Yep, *he* worked on building the Empire State Building. Can you imagine the lifelong sense of accomplishment...seeing that building, knowing you worked on it...wow! |
