Gibson's Magic GMICS in the news again ::

Here’s another bit of Gibson Magic (formerly GMICS) news, again with fun quotes—this time from Wired:

“Gibson’s maverick CEO wants to shove Ethernet up your ax."—article’s subtitle

“One thing I can say about Henry [Juszkiewicz] without reservation is that he desperately wants to introduce some innovation."—Adrian Freed, CNMAT research director

“No disrespect to Henry, but Magic looks like a solution in search of a problem."—Peter Swiadon, Roland product manager

“We’re dividing our studios across 2 kilometers, and we can just grab a fiber on the campus network and make remote studios with zero delay."—Chris Chafe, Stanford music professor

How close to zero is “zero”?

“[Henry]'d come in and say things like, ‘This is gonna solve coronary heart problems!'"—one early developer

“No, seriously, I’m like a prophet. I always get put down, and then later, people realize I’m right."—Henry Juszkiewicz

“Sometimes the best we can hope for our competitors is that they get bought by Gibson."—Yamaha executive
