Say Thanks to OCY! Old Cow Yellow Celebration Week - May 15-21, 2016 Keep Inspiring! From Palo Alto Tiny BASIC to the Homebrew Computer Club to the TI E2E Community, old_cow_yellow has become a legend around here for helping other TI Community Members on the MSP Low-Power Microcontroller Forum dating all the way back to Sunday, November 23rd, 2008 when they first helped someone out ( see here ). Old Cow Yellow (aka OCY) is known for their quick wit ( evaporating horses anyone ), great sense of humor and in-depth technical expertise that they've regularly shared from 2008 to the present across nearly 5,000 E2E posts (most in the MSP Forum but they've also helped across 10 other E2E Forums). In 2014 OCY was the first ever to win the annual Top Helper Award and most recently in 2015 they were the first to be honored in the TI Community Hall of Fame. Great to honor you this week for your vast MSP and TI Community contributions and thanks to Jan Cumps helping start it off with this tribute project . A huge thanks to you Old Cow Yellow for helping out millions and millions in the TI Community, especially around MSP on E2E! Rumor has it you've been helping around MSP long before E2E as well.

Old Cow Yellow in his own words and on the TI E2E Community "I call myself a hobbyist, not an engineer. I joined E2E to see what others are doing with MSP430. When I see questions where I think I know the answer, I tend to answer them. I also respond to other postings that interest me or postings I think are incorrect." "The TI E2E Community is bringing in engineers of diverse background to discuss problems, solutions, and ideas related to specific areas of TIproducts. I enjoyed participating in it. And I will continue to do so for many years to come." Even in the early days of the TI E2E Community (as shown in bottom left of the photo below) old_cow_yellow was a Top Helper!
