He did solve it quickly, using the newly introduced <strong>HP</strong> 2116A computer which had beenconfigured beyond its original purpose of controlling instruments, to handle data processing. Butmuch more significantly, Zvonko envisioned how to computer-model electronic circuits in apowerful simulation software project that he achieved <strong>with</strong> <strong>HP</strong>CAD. This achievement camealong right at the critical time in circuit design technologies because of the rapid onrush ofsemiconductor components across the board. His basic ideas even ended up in commercialproducts such as Spice ® .And, as always, the fertile minds of Barney and Hewlett were pushing Paul Stoft to challengeZvonko and his Lab associates to find new projects that would meet future customermeasurement needs. Perhaps Zvonko’s most memorable project was to assemble and compile themost significant life writings of Barney after his death.I like Zvonko as a friend because I can always ask him physics questions like issues on theexpansion of the cosmos after the Big Bang, or strange particles like the Quark, and get answersthat are in my range of comprehension.This memoir tells us commoners that it was a grand pleasure to spend a career in <strong>HP</strong> Labs.--John Minck[2]
