Currently work at Mozilla for ~13 years, on the Networking team (formerly WebRTC lead, also Performance, DOM and Browser Architecture teams)

Welcome to Amibay 👍🏻 Thanks for the work you did on the Amiga 😉
 
Welcome and thanks for your work on this nice OS still usable until now.
Maybe you have some undocumented stuff or inside stories to reveal?
 
Great CV! Did you move to Norway - Oslo when working for SCALA? Or had they sold out and relocated to US by then and started with PC Scala?

I've worked a lot with Scala IC systems in late 90's. At least by 98, they had moved from Norway and only produced for PC as I recall.
 
Welcome @jesup ! Always good to have one more knowledgeable user in here!
Thanks for all you hard work creating this beatiful system!

I worked in Exton for Scala; we also had a major office in Oslo at the time (went there once for a week; we had an apartment for visiting employees).

Hi @jesup , welcome to amibay. Thanks for your help getting the DSP working the other year, much appreciated!

I recently (yesterday) brought my old development machine up, I do have a directory of DSP-related files; I'll try to dump them and upload them somewhere (though Eric Lavitsky was the one doing most of the work on the DSP).
 
A very warm welcome Randell Jesup! I used to work for Commodore as well but not in a prestigious position like you. I was doing Amiga sales/support for Commodore Philippines. Thanx for all your hard work on Amiga! My two CDTVs & 1 CD32 still work great so thanx for that!

Hello Randell, what brings such a high profile personality to our humble amiga forum?
