Redhill Building
This is the lobby at the south end of the Red Hill Building.
Pictured are: Robert Stack, Margo Chase & Debbie Harris
The following pictures are from the
MicroScope newsletter,
dated December 1976, and were taken in 1974 at
Movieland Wax Museum in Buena Park, CA. The original captions are included
with each photo. Scans courtesy
Jim Stephens, Gary Getchen, and Phil Mahru.
Laurel and Hardy and Max Malone
George Olenick would be a natural in a western. He looks
right at home on the Bonanza set with Ben, Hoss, and Little Joe.
Don Savitt and Jean Harlow. If you don't know who's who, we
don't recommend visiting Movieland.
Kate, Bogie, and Don Pagan.
The handsome leading man is Don Fuller, of course. Rhett
Butler (Clark Gable) is the one with the mustache.
Dick Vahlstrom seems glad he wasn't a gladiator like Kirk
Douglas and Woody Strode.
Microdata's Chuck Dineen with humorist Will Rodgers.
The untouchable Bob Stack. Elliott Ness had the gun.
Art Bradford with Hedy Lamarr. How did Robert Taylor sneak in
the picture?
Lou Peterson who was one of the security guards at Red Hill.
One of his hobbies was making caricatures of the
people in the building, some of which you can see posted on the wall behind
him.
What can I say. The only thing that is notable in the history
of this photo / ad is that a fairly famous Microcomputer
magazine of some repute ripped off the photo from a copy of datamation (not
original photos, as I have those from
discards from marketing people). They were busted and embarrassed, but
nothing other than the infamy of the
incident ever came of it. ("Micro-Babe" scan courtesy Jim Stephens). Click here a PDF of variations of the ad.

This is the system system logo for an express-x front panel.
Before express's could be shipped, there was a need to
get hardware into the hands of developers, and these systems were basically
modified and E/O'ed up systems from
Pilot production, with the Express-X badge. The later systems packaged in
the low cabinets were express-3's.

This badge was passed around at a spectrum show to great delight, as
Henry E's legend grew to mythical proportions.

500th System pin. This was the first "collectable" from the company that
I ever got. Also, Fuller and the upper management served the company
lunch, as I recall (I try not to forget a free lunch). (courtesy Jim

No I didn't mug anyone for this.

According to Mark Friedman, this button was a "motivational" message for
the Novadyne sales team. Bob Garbutt told the sales team that if they
made their numbers the annual sales conference would be in Palm Springs,
if not it would be in Newark. "No Newark!" |
