>Humorous! I thought you might be interested in a tidbit about Nolan Bushnell originally from Salt Lake City, who created Atari amongst other ventures.

>Nolan left Salt Lake City and went to work at Ampex as an engineer. I was also an Ampex engineer. Noland bought a home near the intersection of El Camino Real and Lawrence Expressway, a few blocks from where we live.

>There was a story about Nolan and Ted Dabney his business partner at Atari, that we heard was true. I forgot the details but they had just gotten Pong to work and went to lunch. After lunch they went to the local Mercedes dealer and each one picked out a model. One said to the other, “O.K., I bought lunch – you buy the Mercedes’”! And they each had a new car!

>I had several tours at Atari with Nolan. It was unreal! I do not play video games even today but it was great to see what he was doing. I could have bought a Pong game for only a few hundred dollars! Where to put it?

>I have not seen or talked to Nolan for many years but understand he is in Los Angeles with his family.
