Huh.. is that title linkbait? Other than the photo of Andy Grove, I don't see anything about a call with Andy? (Or I'm really slow today)

(edit: oh I am slow today. Its told in story form, the meeting with Andy Grove is several posts down on the page).

It's a multiple part post... read a bit further down

"I closed my office door, picked up the phone, and asked for Andy Grove. I wanted to know why they weren’t in the conversation. I guessed it was because we used the Intel i860 chip on one of our graphics boards and it didn’t impress us. But what were Michael Dell, Bill Gates and Andy going to do about the Intel 80486 facing the same fate as Motorola’s 68040? I had to know."

It's a super hard article to follow. I felt like I was reading a list of tweets or something.

The call with Andy established a relationship between NeXT and Intel, which, while not bearing fruit immediately, lead to the Apple CEO's decision years later to acquire NeXT.
