ANTIC Interview 287 - George White, Founder of Koala Technologies - a podcast by Randy Kindig, Kay Savetz, Brad Arnold

 

George White was the founder of Koala Technologies, the company that made the KoalaPad. KoalaPad was a touch tablet, versions were available for the Atari 8-bit computers, Commodore 64, Apple II, and the IBM PC. A version for the TRS-80 Color Computer was also available, sold as the TRS-80 Touch Pad.

 

This interview took place on May 20, 2017. If you want to see George and my chat, a video version of this interview is available, check the show notes at AtariPodcast.com for that link. I also interviewed KoalaPad inventor David Thornburg, whom we talk about in this interview. David's interview will be published next.

 

"I regret the fact that I wasn't more forceful in staying true to my original reason for starting the company which was to make mice."
