Talk:Hap Horn

Your article on Hap Horn is incorrect. This is Chris Youden one of Hap Horn's step-sons. Hap Horn was fired in the hallway personally by Steve Jobs because Hap felt the disk drive was not ready to be released and Jobs disagreed. Hap did not retire to Los Altos after that. He continued to live in Palo Alto and continued to work as an IC designer till about a year before his death for various companies usually as a contractor. As an engineer myself, Hap was the smartest man I ever actually knew. I only caught him in an error two or three times. And when I did he would apologize deeply. As Jobs himself said that the highest sign of intelligence is the ability to change ones mind, Hap could also do that. We would argue for decades over social issues and to Hap's credit that even growing up in Little Rock in the deep, deep south, Hap could change his mind about life and society.
