Well, the safest way to avoid such jealousy is to showcase a system
from a long-defunct company (not merely one that was acquired by
another company that's still viable), preferably one whose founders
have since died. What's the status of the principals of Altair,
Imsai and SWTPC? (Especially the last -- I prefer Motorola to Intel).
