Cray Research, the computer company, was literally built on stories. That’s the power of catching someone’s imagination. We’ll first learn about “Seymour stories” within Cray Research. Then we’ll learn an early Glenn Martin story, which catches the imagination, and contrast that story to the background and context that wasn’t so great. We’re not focusing on the art of storytelling as such. Rather, we’re seeing examples of what does catch the imagination and what does not. It’s an interesting and useful lesson. by Edward Barnard
