Col. /Professor Parkinson definitely deserves the prize, pushing GPS was not the best career move but he had a vision and we have to thank him for his commitment. Attached a picture of one of his visit with his boss at TI. A peace of trivia because of my security clearance I had to brief the CIA and NSA and when asked as to what cost and size would eventually be I said the size of a brick and $ 3000. I was declared the company idiot lost total credibility and it was the main reason I left TI. I was wrong but even using Moore's law it would have been impossible to predict today's products. Had I had the vision they would have taken me directly to the looney bin. Bert Kehren In a message dated 5/22/2016 1:02:13 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
