Guy Kawasaki is famous for going around to developers with a pre-release
128K Mac and early MacWrite and MacPaint and convincing Microsoft and
others to write products for the Macintosh. Just two pieces of software
and a box.

If no one had listened to him and written for the Macintosh wintel users
today would be staring at the "a:>" prompt wondering what command they
should type in.

Sounds like "paradox" is a newcomer to the computer industry...or is it
just a case of "sour grapes"? [this is a wintel user I'm responding to,
right?]

Regards,

Jay

PS- for the record Bill Gates is also one of my heros...I don't hold him
responsible for the cult of personality that has grown around him...I only
hope that if I were as fortunate that I could discourage such foolishness.
