The canopy crew was much more fun back in those days.  They would invite me to 
Schaumberg and visit with the engineers.  Show them my stinger prototypes etc.  
They gave me canvas software to do special things in the transmitter and even 
let me do FCC type approval work alongside them in the same labs.  Things were 
great.  Tom Hulsebosch and the other Tom (Gruba?) were super great at working 
with the channel partners and fanning all the flames.  

Chuck Macenski would stick his neck out time and time again to help everyone.

Then, I can only presume, someone in Mot HQ decided to step in and “help” this 
group of “loose cannons” turn things into a proper Motorola division or 
something.  I only know that once Tom and Tom were gone I got bupkis by the way 
of support and collaboration.  I could name a couple of guys that actively 
worked against me.  Hope karma bit them in the balls eventually.

I always loved the error message: 

Unauthorized (401)
Through a series of highly sophisticated and complex algorithms, this system 
has determined that you are not presently authorized to use this system 
function. It could be that you simply mistyped a password, or, it could be that 
you are some sort of interplanetary alien-being that has no hands and, thus, 
cannot type. If I were a gambler, I would bet that a cat (an orange tabby named 
Sierra or Harley) somehow jumped onto your keyboard and forgot some of the more 
important pointers from those typing lessons you paid for. Based on the actual 
error encountered, I would guess that the feline in question simply forgot to 
place one or both paws on the appropriate home keys before starting. Then 
again, I suppose it could have been a keyboard error caused by some form of 
cosmic radiation; this would fit nicely with my interplanetary alien-being 
theory. If you think this might be the cause, perhaps you could create some 
sort of underground bunker to help shield yourself from it. I don’t know that 
it will work, but, you will probably feel better if you try something.

  “Early software releases were given old testament biblical names. Obidiah

and a Joel and Amos before. It is believed that Nahum was the last "named" 
release with numbered releases following. Generally available units were 
shipped with software in the 3.x.x range. (Is this correct, someone check this 
if possible, I am guessing).

  It is certain that Nahum was shipping as of Sept 2002; Don Lashier of 
newportnet.com reports on part-15.org the following:

  Seems like there were some other biblical named releases too.

        I found this picture from my old company days in the 1990s...i can't 
remember if this was an TTI screen shot or what...any one recognize it? 

        My suburban was equipped with all kinds of antennas back then...
