One fine morning I opened the San Jose Mercury News to see that Atari had announced a new Transputer-based workstation. It was especially exciting because I was working for Atari Corp, and our little engineering team (of maybe 20 hardware and software people) had no inkling we'd been working on it! This was a project shot out without permission by a group in the UK. They hadn't bothered to tell us. [I rather liked the Transputer architecture. Bizarre, but very interesting]
