It was a pain and expensive keeping both places but Leroy Score, our founder
and CEO, insisted the Los Altos address was prestigious. Jim Pike reminded
him that Los Altos was only locally known while Palo Alto was known world
wide because of Stanford. Finally we all moved to San Antonio Rd. and remained
there until more financing allowed more hiring and we moved just next door
to 490 San Antonio. (We eventually had 3/4 of the building and shipped
our first demo system to Globe Union from there. That system was later
transferred to GE Bloomington when the truck with their system ended up on
its side in a ditch during a Nebraska snow storm). |
