Factual error

Error: Milne was not a student when he co-founded the spin-out. He's over 65 (66 or 67now?) and would be in his early forties in 1984! He was the director of the wolfson Microelectronics Institute while at Edinburgh.

Neither was he ex-UOE... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.36.42.35 (talk) 11:52, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Okay, clearly I'm inferring too much from the article! In what way is it a spin-out, then? (Alternatively, you can always edit the article yourself, even without a registered account.) Angus Lepper(T, C, D) 13:47, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

The Wolfson Microelectronics Institute was an academic research unit founded in 1973. Don't know where they started off, but they ended-up hiding in the now demolished Terrapin Building tucked in behind the EMF in the electrical engineering department; the sign was still there just up the stairs outside Bob's office in '91, though it was PG and RA offices and a lab by that point. DM (a Bristol PhD) was appointed as director from its inception to spin-out as a company. I'm sure this is all on their web site somewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.36.42.35 (talk) 20:03, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Co-founder

Surely Jim Reid is worthy of a mention as the other co-founder of the company? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.135.0.155 (talk) 08:35, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

I've added him in. Angus Lepper(T, C, D) 16:24, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Jim Reid is no longer with Wolfson. He left a few years back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.135.0.155 (talk) 14:03, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

This article is seemingly written as a company bio/advert and does not indicate much notability. Suspect this article needs some work. RobertMfromLI | User Talk 01:36, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
