  1. Herb Schmidt, who also works at Sanders, created the first bit-mapped graphics. This was licensed to Magnavox. Ralph Baird was his manager. (I am not sure if Ralph Baird was also involved in the design or not, others in the company thought he was not - and when Sanders later sued Magnavox for patent infringement, Herb Schmidt was their primary witness.

    By the way, the company had promoted Herb Schmidt to "Engineering Fellow', the highest non-management engineering level in the company. They laid him off, even though they were getting huge royalties due to his patents. When they decided to sue Magnavox for patent infringement, they had to hire Herb Schmidt back. (I can imagine that conversation).
