My name is Jay. I guess I was one of the "lesser" magicians. I worked on the Telescript side, doing infrastructure for the Telescript engine. But I got to interact with both Bill and Andy, and Phil and Tony, who I followed to further ventures. My experience at General Magic was certainly eye opening and super educational.
OMG. I was a fan of Telescript (and Obliq) at the time. I still believe that Java and the hype surrounding it contributed to the demise of mobile agents, although I'm sure that reality was more complex than that. Kudos for having such a cool job!
I was an archmage level magician and wrote the kernel graphics in assembly, Jay was a fine level 7 mage though
