The father of the Amiga. A founding member of Hi-Toro in 1982, all three of the Amiga patents list him as the inventor. He left Amiga Corp after it was bought by Commodore, later developed the Atari Lynx handheld. During the early 1990's he continued to create revolutionary designs such as adjustable pacemakers. Passed away in April 1994.

When the Amiga was first shown to the public, the custom chipset was still in the prototype breadboard configuration and were extremely delicate. To get the prototype to the Winter CES show in 1984, the team were forced to purchase a seat on an airliner for the stack of boards. According to current flight rules a name must be associated with every seat booking and printed upon the ticket. In the event of a plane crash the booking index is used to identify occupants on the flight. As a result, Joe Pillow was born!
Joe is mentioned in some of the developer materials, and is mentioned in the list of Amiga team members hidden in the 1.x Kickstart ROMs.
