I like this paragraph most:
RW: Well, Jim, did you know Widlar?
JW: I worked with him here at Linear. And he was very much a character. One
night he and I were working late in the lab and he noticed some funny stuff
going on on his breadboard and we finally tracked it to RF emissions from
the San Jose Airport . And I came up with some idea of screening the circuit
which would take some number of hours to really do well. But Widlar was
already on the phone trying to get a phone number for the tower at San Jose
Airport . And he finally got some number that got close to the tower but not
quite there and very coolly requested that they shut down the transmitter
for a half an hour so he could finish his breadboarding which they said they
couldn't do and he hung up and I thought the FBI would be on us in fifteen
minutes but it didn't happen. But that was Widlar.

" My first job was in a television shop. I was too young to work under
Michigan law but the arrangement that Mr. X and I had was if I found any
money on the floor after I was done working on Saturday and Sunday, I could
keep it. And I started working for him when I was twelve or thirteen." |
