That long-anticipated non-profit X trade association, the X Industry Association, brainchild of The X Business Group, is getting off the ground: it’s picked itself a chairman in David Harris of Adobe Systems Inc and the board includes Peter Winston of Xhibition, Peter Shaw of AGE Logic Inc, Stephen King of Tektronix, Brian Fitzgerald of Digital Equipment Corp and Michael Harrigan of Network Computing Devices Inc and Anil Malhotra of IXI Ltd; members include Applied Digital Data Systems, Grafpoint, Hummingbird, Kinesix, Non Standard Logics, Omron, Shographics, TeleSoft, Visual Edge and Walker, Richer & Quinn; the new body is to market, promote and educate in the name of X, leaving the X Consortium, while it still exists, to grapple with the technical issues.
