Commonly known as Frog, the company, founded in Altensteig, West Germany, in 1969 by Hartmut Esslinger, drew its name from the green television set that was on of the firm's first designs. Since then, the company has designed some of the splashiest products around, including, clockwise from top left, an inductive iron for the elderly, "Wondervision" for children and a home computer printer and fax machine for the blind.

Could someone from Frog comment on the PLA's in the NeXT? :-) :-) :-) = Joe = #include Joe Grace ARPA: jgrace@bbn.com UUCP: {harvard,husc6,decvax,etc.}!bbn!jgrace
