The elder statesman of our CAD industry, Joel Orr, keynotes Saturday morning COFES session. His theme: Remembering The Future.<\/p>\n
Joel played a key role in my personal career. I met Joel in 1987 when I was raising money for my first company, Premise Inc. Our product was called DesignView, a 2D sketcher\/equation-solver that ran, wow, on Windows 2.0.<\/p>\n
Joel gave us great advice on how to go about building our product and raising money. Ultimately he introduced me to someone who indeed got us our investment capital.<\/p>\n
Joel has been a great friend ever since to me and countless others in our CAD industry. It was great to see Joel here at COFES 2009, as happy and energetic as I have ever seen him, with his charming new wife Dalia.<\/p>\n
