Re: [AFMUG] Is Motorola Chuck still on afmug? (I forget his last name)
Hey chuck! Good to hear from you again! Yeah I remember at one of the animal farms you were talking about how canopy was a secret project that wasn’t intended to escape but did. It was also cool when I visited the Schaumburg campus for training and seeing some of the display items in the lobby. The best was the model T (or some other vintage car, I can’t remember now) that had a record player in the dash…motor ola ;-) Pretty cool stuff, reminded me of the xerox park labs etc. Hope you are doing well! -Sean On Wed, Sep 21, 2022 at 11:07 PM Chuck Macenski wrote: > I wish the author would have listed some of the names/email addresses to > see if there were any I knew.

I wish the author would have listed some of the names/email addresses to see if there were any I knew. There were tons of proof of concept "products" built in the research labs whose existence never escaped the walls of Motorola. Often they were built to identify new technologies that warranted future development work. Working in the labs was fun, but you could never talk about what you were working on. Canopy was one of the few that escaped when no one was looking (this is more true than you might believe).
