Hi Roy,

Morris was the driving force behind Tektronix's entry into the spectrum
analyzer market, and the group's chief engineer and architect for a long
time. He'd retired by the time I joined the group, and I only met him when
he taught a couple of one-week courses based on his books. He's truly one of
the experts in the field.

Was Dennis Rosenauer around while you were still at Tek? Last I heard (a
couple of years ago), he was working on their spectrum analyzers. As you're
probably aware, Tek pretty much dumped spectrum analyzer development for
awhile in the '90s, and something like 3-4 years ago hired Elaine May to be
the new product group manager... she having been layed off when *Agilent*
decided to dump *their* spectrum analyzer development! Sheesh.

Sheesh, indeed. Where did you hear _that_? Lots of shrinking happened
back then (and not just in Agilent, for sure), but it would certainly
be a stretch to say that they "dumped their spectrum analyzer
development." That's a pretty gross misrepresentation of what went on.

Cheers,
Tom
