Power Lunch Club meets Ian Ritchie
Scots developers have been at the leading edge of modern technology for decades. Take the entrepreneur Ian Richie for instance. In the 1980s, his Edinburgh-based company, Office Workstations Ltd or OWL, was marketing a product that would be recognisable to anyone using the World Wide Web today. Guide used a hypertext mark-up language to show links within documents with the text shown underlined and in blue to highlight it. Click on that part of the page and the computer jumped to the relevant reference. At the time, OWL was the first and indeed largest supplier such tools to customers who needed to create large, interactive, multimedia documents in industries such as automobile, defence, publishing, finance, and education. He sold OWL to Panasonic in at the end of 1989. Ritchie #39;s gone on invest in many other high-tech companies and is currently chairman of iomart in Glasgow, one of Europe #39;s leading providers of managed hosting and cloud computing services, and a range of other technology firms. However, he #39;s also known as the man who turned down Tim Berners-Lee when he was developing the Web. But he told a meeting of the Power Lunch Club that he #39;s no regrets about that decision; there are other missed opportunities he does look back on and wonder what might have been.From:CaledonianMercuryBizViews:2 0ratingsTime:04:14More inNews Politics
