A common problem. At a lot of technology companies any engineer who
couldn't hack it wound up in sales or marketing. Tektronix was a
perfect example. They insisted on marketing that looked like spec
sheets--"you have to include the fazamma feature, people need to know
we can fazamma"
HP was the blessed exception. I never met an HP marketer that wasn't
first rate. their biggest problem was they were all used to being the
smartest people in the room. More than three of them in a meeting and
you had trouble.
