Joe Pillow

Joe Pillow was the name given on the airline ticket for the extra airline seat that was purchased to hold the first Amiga prototype while on the way to the January 1984 CES. The airlines required a name for the airline ticket and Joe Pillow was born. The engineers who flew with the Amiga prototype (Lorraine) drew a happy face on the front of the pillowcase and even added a tie. [cite web

Joe Pillow extended his fifteen minutes of fame when the Amiga went to production. All 53 Amiga team members who worked on the project signed the Amiga case. This included Joe Pillow and Jay Miner's dog Michy who each got to "sign" the case in their own unique way. [cite web
