fascinating details, happy to have stirred up these memories!
- jacquesm 5y agoI've been reading for a couple of hours on all of the stuff you guys have dug up on the pocket telex (and other interesting bits and pieces), very impressive. So much detail, this must have been a lot of work, and other than a couple of typos I can't find anything that doesn't match what I already knew about the device. It would be interesting to know who formed the software team from those days, I wished I recalled more names. Above the offices in Amsterdam Zuidoost (Hogehilweg) they had this insanely extravagant bar. Looking back I think that the armed bodyguard must have been either coke-induced paranoia shining through or a sign that there was already more afoot that could not stand the light of day.
- jacquesm 5y agoBy the way, doesn't this page need an update now? https://cryptomuseum.com/crypto/philips/index.htm https://cryptomuseum.com/crypto/philips/index.htm "The Philips version with encryption (PX-1000Cr) contained a much improved cryptographic algorithm."
- cryptopaul 5y agoHi, Paul from Crypto Museum here. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I missed that one when updating the stories.
- jacquesm 5y agoYou're welcome, if you want I can proofread the whole website, I noticed a few more typos as I was reading quite a lot there today.
- cryptopaul 5y agoThe whole website would probably take a bit too long ;-) But please report any typos you find whilst reading to info@cryptomuseum.com That will land directly on my desk. Thanks, Paul
