Interesting article! It is true that NLS went into computers, but
before Kaypro got into financial difficulties it had been split off
as a public company and it is that company that went into Chapter 11
bankruptcy and was later put into Chapter 7 by the Court. NLS survives
as a legal entity, by the way, totally owned by Andy Kay, I suspect.
I do not know what they do, perhaps only a shell.
Other parts of the article brought back old times, as I worked for
Electro Instruments in the early sixties on mechanical design of an
X-Y Plotter and knew both Norm Walker and Noel Braemer, who became the
technical brains of Dana Instruments. Norm, in fact, invited me to
join them, but moving to the LA area was not particularly appealing.
