Motorola is what happens when you let junior take over the company instead of 
someone qualified.  Then again, even Apple had some major misteps until Steve 
Jobs took it back.

In my mind, Mot died several years ago.

Back in the day, when engineers used data manuals for semiconductors, two or 
three whole shelves on my book case in my office were Motorola Blue.(There were 
some Mot browns too).  Then there was the TI yellow, National Semiconductor was 
a darker blue, Maxim was white I think,  and of course about 4 shelves of  the 
Thomas Register.  Lots of other smaller companies.  Three or four full book 
cases full of data manuals.

But it was those Mot RF data manuals that were my favorites...

So where did the museum end up?
