The Expert:
How do you ask Ron Bishop 64 just one question? The electrical
engineering grad has a long and successful career, much of it working
in the computer industry for Motorola. Its impressive, but his
wildly varied ventures as an author and entrepreneur are what really
intrigue. Starting with his 1979 book, Basic Microprocessors and the
6800 which became a standard text at 400 colleges and has sold
nearly two million copies Bishop has known and trusted a good
idea when he thinks of it. His inventive bent has led him to market
nightlights, neckties, and plastic soda bottles stretched into weird
shapes, to name a few. As an author, Bishop didnt pigeonhole himself
as a technical writer after the first book. His publication Getting
to Know You, (www.knowyourlover.com) is a collection of 315 yes-no questions
to help couples cut to the chase and determine if they are compatible.
The book has proven prime fodder for TV talk shows and is used by a
number of dating services.
