Scumbria, Re: Dolby has a successful technology
That's true....now....., but it wasn't in the beginning of Dolby Labs. When I was working for a Medical Instrument Company in Palo Alto Ca, in the early 90's, I worked with a senior engineer who was on the design team at AMPEX. At that time, they were developing the first Video Tape Recorder. No, not the video cassette recorder, the original video tape recording technology.
I found out he was involved, when I went to a party at his house, ummmmm...mansion, in the Palo Alto Hills, near Stanford University, and spotted an Emmy on his mantle. "What's that for?" says I, and the story unfolded. Then he said...
"If you're that interested, let me introduce you to a friend of mine who worked with us...... Thomas Dolby. Yup, that Thomas Dolby. And let me tell you, according to him.... NOBODY was beating a path to his door for the original Dolby Noise Reduction technology..... in the beginning.....
My how times have changed.....
