Not the supervisor -- the rumor was that it was Perry Odak
(the guy who essentially got blamed for Atari's downfall) while he was
visiting the Amplifone site at Brownsville, TX. The first I heard of
that was in the Amplifone FAQ (although Odak isn't mentioned by name.)
Whether it's true or not -- It's an interesting and believable
story. <shrug>
