An interesting industry tie-in (to me) is that Marcus Ryle was at Alesis too, and he later went on to form Line 6. I stumbled on this while looking at some EPROM .bin dumps and noticing references to Fast Forward Designs.<br>
<br>
We could really use one of those org charts (like the Prog Rock bands have) for guys like this along with the usual legends! I'm sure there was a lot of engineering migration between companies in Silicon Valley as well as other hot spots on the planet.<br>
