A Piece of Propeller History

Working on my Propeller workshop presentation, looking over my pics through the years.

On a 2001 visit to Parallax, I met Chip and he was telling me about his project of a processor that would help break dependence on the PC for programming, and was developing the logic for some video output it was going to have. Not having much of a background in video generation, I just nodded my head trying to look like I followed what he was talking about [noparse]:)[/noparse]

Attached is a pic of Chip hard at work on the video logic of what we've come to know and enjoy. Note the can of air nearby to test the temperature effects I believe.

I have one of Ken Gracey cutting some metal for this robot he was exciting about... Don't know if it ever came to much [noparse]:)[/noparse]

Ah well, back to work....

    We should have a thread like this to keep propeller history in. I would love to see some other pictures if people have them.
