Google, Jeff Fox Chuck Moore

Jeff was the first employee and 'cool software developer' at iTV, a company formed by Chuck Moore to make Internet appliances using one of his Forth chips. Later Jeff was Director of Software at iTV and helped develop 4OS and the email and web browser appliance software. iTV never produced chips in volume or sold any Internet appliances.

I did assign 2 patents to iTv, a company for which I developed a microprocessor. They needed to own Intellectual Property in order to obtain financing

In 1995 I joined a NASA startup called the iTV Corporation with Chuck Moore. The idea was to build web appliances with a chip that was a variation of F21, iTV's i21. I became Director of Software at iTV. I trained the staff and we wrote the 4os and made various all Forth chip and all Forth software web browser and email appliances. After developing products that everyone liked iTV's Board of Directors decided that they didn't want to sell anything and the company was shut down operating system

I guess that's another failed attempt at commercializing the two-stack Forth design in hardware. At least this one actually made it to the market as working hardware; a bunch of Chuck's designs did that in the 1980s, but I think the last one was the MuP21 in 1990. (80 million instructions per second in 7000 transistors, including the NTSC video controller, according to Jeff Fox's MISC page. Amazing.)

iTV was established in 1995 by Chuck Moore, Joe Zott, and Gary Langford to bring consumers an affordable Internet access device that allows every household to connect to the Internet
