In researching this blog series, which celebrates QNX’s 30th anniversary in the embedded business, it occurred to me that I should find out what else happened the year QNX was founded.One clear pattern emerged: 1980 was loud. For example:
- Mount St. Helens erupted
- AC/DC released Back In Black
- Iron Maiden released its debut album
- The Soviet Union held its first rock festival

look at the special link between AC/DC and QNX!
look at the ex drummer of AC/DC and one of your kernel guys - Mr. C.B. ;-)
Let there be rock

Start of New York Islanders 4 yr lock on the Stanley Cup.
Steve Howe voted Best Overall Guitarist in Guitar Player magazine's annual Reader's Poll.
hp, AC/DC has more than one ex-drummer. Which one? :-)
Phil, I remember spending lots of time listening to Yes back... oh wait, I'm not going to admit going back *that* far...
I remember dropping out of Pure & Applied Science because I didn't want to spend all my time with geeks ... and look where I am now.
Well, we're glad to have you, Nancy. But about that attitude...
but there's only one with the same name as one of the kernel guys -> Colin Burgess

hp, I can't believe I didn't pick up on that!
I'll have you know, that I was 7 in 1980 - does playing in a successful rockband at that age make you a prodigy, if it's AC/DC?
Interestingly, I had an email from an AC/DC fan a while back, asking me if I was the famous Colin Burgess - I contemplated messing with him, but given that it was news to me at the time, I figured I wouldn't be able to keep up the charade for long... :-)
