I tried to alert Ottens but I never heard back. RIP
the interesting thing, to me, was his role in both the CompactCassette and the CD - mhardy6647 06:47:54 03/11/21 (0)
Given Philips' hugeness, I was struck and surprised by that.
Must've been quite a career.

I raise my pencil in salute (and I don't mean that comment as a snide one!).

all the best,
mrh
