Signature of R.J. Mical (6 KBytes)Robert J. Mical
Software Engineer

Comments
Dave Needle about R.J.Mical: "He and I have been business partners ever since. We did Lynx[1] and 3DO[2]. Now we are working at seperate companies, but are still partners in one."

[1]

After Dave Morse (who was Epyx' chairman and CEO these days) had asked them to, Dave Needle and R.J.Mical began designing the ATARI Lynx in 1987

[2]

The 3DO gaming platform was ahead of its time but failed, as Mical stated in an interview, mainly due to bad marketing

Signature of Joe Pillow (imaginary person, 6 KBytes)Joe Pillow
Placeholder/ mascot

Comments
Not a real person. Dave Needle wrote: "Joe Pillow was just one pillow, on top of a back pack, used to keep the airplane seat between RJ and Dale unused. It fooled the stewardess and there was much consternation. The whole story is quite funny. The seat-purchase for the prototypes was a different event. Yes, we bought seats for the large wooden boxes that housed the prototypes. I sat next to one of them, and since there was meal service, I had both meals. Not as funny as the Joe Pillow story and photos."

Signature of Rob Peck (6 KBytes)Rob Peck
Manager of Documentation

Comments
Robert Peck wrote 'The Amiga Companion', together with Harv Laser, and contributed to many other AMIGA books and reference guides. Harv Laser wrote: "I met him a few times and he was one of the nicest and sincerest gentlemen I have ever had the pleasure to count as a friend in this dog eat dog computer business. I couldn't think of a bad thing to say about him, if I tried. I consulted on and helped edit his book 'The Amiga Companion'. His passing at such a young age, in his 40s, I think, was really a tragedy."

Rob Peck passed away in 1990. Thanks to Andrea Peck for the information and getting me in contact with Harv Laser.
