To: Linux-Kernel Reply-to: robw@optonline.net Message-id: <1043785811.858.21.camel@RobsPC.RobertWilkens.com> Organization: Robert Wilkens MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.2.1 Content-type: text/plain Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Johan Klockars The above person was kind enough to contact me by e-mail to point out a correction to a fact that was misstated on this mailing list. I wanted to make the correction public even though I was not the person to make the claim (but I went along with it, not knowing any better). Someone on this list had claimed to me that my "claim to fame" was my involvement in an operating system known as "VxWorks". Me, not really knowing any better, nodded and agreed. The reality of the situation is that I had no involvement in VxWorks, and didn't even really know what he was talking about. I simply thought that was a marketting name for the company's product. I never paid attention to brand names, I was on the technical/engineering end. Long story short: The real-time UNIX company I had worked for was *not* windriver which would be the company that is responsible for VxWorks. The company I had worked for was much lesser known. -Rob [p.s.
