Re: Bill Budge

Well, in my humble opinion, I'd say that Bill Budge is doing pretty
excellent. When he released his software in the early 1980's, those were the
boom years, and I think he made some big big bucks. I've lived in the San
Francisco Bay Area for more than 20 years, and I'd never been in a house
that had such a spectacular view. On a clear day, I bet he can see Hawaii.

He's an avid wind-surfer. And, his current project is to do a Pinball
Construction Set for the Sega genesis machine.

He provided me with binders filled with source code. If you remember back a
few months ago, I was asking about how to convert old DOS 3.2 13 sector
disks. That was why I was asking. Bill didn;t hand me any completed disks
that were sold. Just source code that had to be convrted and re-compiled. I
spent a number of hours, and got about 5 disks of pinball stuff, including
the original pinball.

It was all sent along to Tim Tobin, the coordinator of the Lost Classic
Project, and he recruited you-know-who to whip it all into shape. For those
without an imagination, that's Burger Bill.

Tim Tobin says real soon now.
