Message-ID: <m0fm8Ox-0002LxC@attctc.Dallas.TX.US> (raw)
I just received a letter and news release that TeleInvest, a subsiduary
of Swedish Telecom, will acquire TeleSoft and then merge it with
TeleLogic to form TeleSoft AB. HQ will be in Stockholm, with operations
in San Diego and Brussels. Valuation of TeleSoft was >$40m.
Board members "include":
I. Wahlstrom, Chair, (Managing Dir. of TeleInvest)
B. Goodwin, Pres. & CEO of TeleSoft AB (former Pres & CEO of TeleSoft)
B. Jorgensen, Exec VP (former MD of TeleLogic)
S. Evans-Freke, (Pres of PaineWebber Dev. Corp.) (thank you PaineWebber)
K. Katzeff (chief scientist, Swedish Telecom)
C. Moore (partner, Welsh Carson Anderson & Stowe)
TeleSoft Trivia time:
1. What was TeleSoft's name before it was TeleSoft and after
after the merger of Telesoftware and Renaissance Systems?
2. Name five Presidents of TeleSoft or Telesoftware.
(Hint: Ken Bowles isn't one of them.)
3. On May 21, 1984, TeleSoft received validation certificate #004.
What operating system did the validation test run under and what
does its acronym stand for?
4. Who designed the front-end of TeleGEN-2?
5. Who are The Two Garys?
6. What trade show giveaway gave TeleSoft's marketing department the
most grief?
No prizes, I just thought this would make a change from submissions
wondering where to get the LRM or if there is an Ada compiler for the
TRS-80 (one was announced, but that's another trivia subject).
