High School Dropout, Self-Taught Chip Designer
circletimessquare writes "The QVC television shopping network has recently found a hit in its product the C64, which emulates the classic Commodore 64 in a small form factor, a joystick. But the story of the designer of the product is more interesting than the product. Meet Jeri Ellsworth [NYTimes. You know what that means], whose life story emulates the golden age of garage-based computer design. She is proof that the passion of the homebrew electronic hobbyist is still a viable force in an age when well-funded and well-staffed corporate design teams dominate chip design."
That's so awfully wrong it truly qualifies as libel. Your statements make it ridiculously clear you did not go to school with Jeri. And that you have never met, known or even talked with someone that has every spoken with her.
Perhaps, as another poster indicates, you've confused Jeri with an entirely different person. If so, you should stand up and apologize. Whatever the case, what you've written is libelous and it's on you now.
Sex change? Jeri a him??? Please.... She may play for the other team, but she's as XX-chromosome a female as you're ever going meet. Something you've quite obviously never done.
