Couldn't happen to a better person.  Bill's 3D toolkit was my
inspiration to get into graphics as a kid and I then had the pleasure
of working with him briefly in '98.  When we were walking down the
hall, some guys who had worked at 3DO saw him and fell on the ground
yelling "We're not worthy!"  And yet he's the nicest and most humble
guy in the world.

That's very cool.  Bill was definitely a "rock star" in
microcomputer graphics.

Anyone remember Don Fudge?  His mirthful motto was, "If you
can't Budge it, Fudge it!"
