    Wrong coast I suspect, Atari was a west coast company and Oppenheimer was @ Berkeley at the time of the Manhattan project so I'm going to guess Berkeley

    Which, in the event I'm right leads to the following question, Bishop Berkeley was born in Dysart Co. Kilkenny, which river does the castle overlook?

    Spot on. Berkeley via Oppenheimer.

    The Nore.

    The name Dysart is derived from what Irish word meaning 'secluded place'?
