The Sunday Boston Globe started a three part series on the Ken Olsen
Story "The ultimate Entreprenuer" (an unauthorized bio). I missed
Sundays first piece but todays is all about Ed DeCastro and how
he wound up leaving DEC after John Jones got a job that Ed thought
he deserved and wound up working for him. It also talks about the
way DeCastro left DEC and why KO is still upset about it. This all
occured before my time here (I came here only 13 yrs ago). I don't
know how much of the story is true but I am aware that KO still
has strong feelings about this man.
Tuesday is part 3 of 3 and is titled " Exit Gordon Bell ".

After reading the three-part series, I can see why KO did't embrace
the book or it's authors. I'm sure the Globe series only picked
up on the juicy segments, but the picture the segments paint of
Ken does not depic him in the best of light. Wish it pointed to
more of the more positive things than the negative; however, the
author's intention was to sell books and make money, as opposed
to writing another success story.

October 3, 1988 issue of ComputerWorld has another segment. Being
involved in that activity during 1980, I believe the depiction is
accurate.
