Look at the way Chuck Macenski put it. Motorola didn't want to do
anything new. They were stuck in their ways. The industry was moving to
digital cellular, but no, they stayed on the analog path until it hurt
them. They tried to control markets and lost.

In my mind, Mot died several years ago.
Back in the day, when engineers used data manuals for
semiconductors, two or three whole shelves on my book case in my
office were Motorola Blue.(There were some Mot browns too). Then
there was the TI yellow, National Semiconductor was a darker blue,
Maxim was white I think, and of course about 4 shelves of the
Thomas Register. Lots of other smaller companies. Three or four
full book cases full of data manuals.
But it was those Mot RF data manuals that were my favorites...
So where did the museum end up?
