Sad to read of a relocation (Phoenix to Austin) breaking up the band, so to speak. But glad the result could be more competition. Curious if any more has been published with Motorola management's rationale for the move. None of the states involved (Arizona, Texas, Pennsylvania) are California, but noncompete enforcement isn't mentioned. Curious if that played any role in the Motorola/MOS Technology dispute; naive searching not turning up.

From the Oral History [1] on the rationale for the move: > [Bill] Lattin: And Jack Henneshen [senior Motorola manager], it is claimed that he wanted to move down there because he wanted a windmill on his property. > [Tom] Bennett: I thought it was the Texas football games. <laughter> [1] https://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/access/text/2015/06/102702020-05-01-acc.pdf https://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/access/text/20...
