This came from the *Southgate Amateur Radio News*. My question is, is there a Flex counterculture similar to what we saw in the early days of Apple? Being part of the Silicon Valley community back in those days, I would say that I see many parallels. People would buy Apple ][ machines and then immediately try to find ways to do new things and push the performance envelope. There were product-specific computer bulletin boards, user's groups, and newsletters. Where the Z80-based machines were more business and science, Apple was more about creativity and fun. Unfortunately for me, I was not on the Apple side of things. This is from the article:
*Radio amateur and Apple co-founder Steve “Woz” Wozniak WA6BND was interviewed on the BBC radio show Today on December 14 and now on the web.* * * *In it he says allowing a counterculture to develop is vital to creating companies that will revolutionise an industry.* * * *Speaking to Evan Davis about his former business partner Steve Jobs, he said that allowing creativity in the early days of Apple was far more important than how you dressed or the length of your hair.* * * *He told the show that structured societies tend to stifle the kind of innovation that helps create hi-tech heaven.* http://www.southgatearc.org/news/december2011/steve_wozniak_wa6bnd_on_bbc_radio_and_tv.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+AmateurRadioNews+%28Southgate+Amateur+Radio+News%29 73 from a proud two Flex owner, -- Steve Miller w6sdm.net _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
