Mitch Bradley. Hardware engineer who designed the SC board. Amongst other
things. Then designed OpenBoot based upon Forth. Amongst other things. Then
founded a company called 'firmworks' to do OpenBoot firmware. Amongst other
things. Then, along with most of firmworks, has apparently designed a forth
based golf swing analyzer and is off doing that now.
