Mr Markowitz:
Regarding your re-written Wikipedia article "Gandalf Technologies":
Prior to your 18 Jan 07 re-write of the facts contributed by those who were actually there and know of what they speak -
"(MAJOR cleanup and toning down of what appears to be the pinings of a former employee, several odd claims removed, notably it being "one of the first") "
- did you do any actual research into the facts? Do you have any documented justification against these "several odd claims" and other statements which you have seen fit to arbitrarily delete? Perhaps you could elaborate and explain your action ...
Regards, Glen Chenier Allen, Texas One of Many Former Gandalf Employees
- actually DRDC and NRC are government agencies, Telesat was created by an act of parlaiment in 1971, and BNR wasnt named until 1980s. Ironic, of all the companies you named, only Gandalf was a true entrepenurial enterprise. (I live in Ottawa, and worked at the last 3) - C.Dowdell
I used to work for Gandalf as well, back in the 1990's. In the article it mentions that Newbridge bought out Gandalf's routing technologies and turned it into a successful product line. Which product line was this? Gandalf's routing and switching technology was far behind it's competitors.
Mitel bought all patents...Newbridge took 1/4 of the employees a year earlier. - C.Dowdell
The MBAs that remained at Gandalf Technologies after the true techno-genius founder Colin Patterson was ousted rejected the CDDI concept when it was offerred to them on a silver platter.
The reason? It had never been done before and nobody was making a profit from it yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.183.49.237 ( talk) 19:59, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Cresendo Communications grabbed the CDDI concept and continued development, then were bought by Cisco Systems for their technology. The rest is history; nowadays 100 Mb/s on twisted pair is regarded as a normal happenstance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.183.49.237 ( talk) 19:47, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
As a native Russian speaker, I have never heard of the word Gandalf being synonymous with modem. I was very curious about this assertion in the article, and started searching — and saw no evidence whatsoever of such synonymous usage ever happening, based on Google search results in Russian, usage in the Russian corpora, or Russian-language e-libraries and tech sources. — Tetromino ( talk) 17:00, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
