I never would have believed this even in the early 1990's. However, in 1990,
I said to Brian Staples who was Microsoft's rep on the COMPSERVE support
forum back in those pre-Windows and pre-Internet days that Windows would
never catch-on. By mid-1992 I had abandoned MS-DOS and was already playing
catch-up writing Windows 3.1 applications.
I was also already peeking into the windows and the boxcars then and just
didn't realize it.
It is that late-night feeling of emotion and "programmer's high" that
obscures the truth until one turns around and looks for someone else and
realizes with a start that one is alone in the room.
A little scary as we know.
