New Museum - The ACP Collection

[Evan Koblentz]

Ah, you're right.  Everyone was thinking in terms of his surname, but the
nickname's relationship to his business m.o. makes more sense.

I interviewed him a few times when he was at Divine but I don't recall
having any opinion about the man.

"Flip" Filoposki got that nickname because buys companies and "flips" them.
I think he was the CEO of Platinum Software which he later sold and made a
ton of money.  He was also at the helm of Devine Interventures (the dotcom
co) which was one the big disasters of that era.

He can't be all that bad if he is a vintage computer guy.

Correct.  I don't have the details (yet --- I will soon), but the buyer of
Dave's stuff is Andrew Filoposki.   He's a widely known dot-com zillionaire
and he's just called "Flip" by everyone in IT circles.  I have no idea how
he got that nickname, but seriously, everyone calls the man Flip.  He's been
involved in many companies and his current venture and bio is here:

I was searching around and came across the place where the ACP computer
collection ended up. The URL is:
