    NB>> To be fair here, I don't think the author was in a position to give   
    NB>> or to refuse... Had he not been in that bad accident, and other   
    NB>> things being equal, he might well have eventually made it freeware...   
    NB>> at least there's not much nag... ;)   
    KW>> Interesting, there's a George Hatchew on FB that went to school in   
    KW>> Michigan   
      
    ML> if we're looking at the same profile, that one apparently graduated in   
    ML> 1966... somehow i suspect that that's a little old for the BW author   
    ML> but maybe not...   
      
   That's possible... it would make him about my age, which would make   
   sense from what I remember about the earlier days, when things were in   
   active development...  :)   
      
    ML> reading thorough that timeline, there is a "thanks for   
    ML> the birthday posts" on Sept 8 2013 so that gives us a little more   
    ML> information to work with... the last (public) activity on that account   
    ML> was April 6, 2014 when they updated their profile picture to that of   
    ML> the red Corvette Stingray...    
    ML> then there's a "george hatchew ii" that also shows up but that one may   
    ML> be too young based on the few photos found...   
      
   Could be a son... or a nephew...  :)   
      
    KW>> -- the Cutting Edge Computing mailing address was just down the road.   
      
    ML> if one of the above is the BW george hatchew, it almost begs the   
    ML> question of the accident... the report(s) that were posted said that   
    ML> it was very severe and it didn't seem like GH would survive or if   
    ML> they did they would have problems for the rest of their life...   
      
   I seem to remember also, though, that he may have recovered at least   
   somewhat from the accident, but that he got a job working at some   
   software firm where they would own any new work he did while working for   
   them, so that was another factor in his putting any further development   
   for Cutting Edge on hold, possibly permanently...  Although, I could   
   have my timeline a little mixed there... the accident might have come   
   second... it's been quite a while now... :)   
      
    ML> martin pollard   
    ML> might have more information if anyone can find him these days...   
      
   Another person who's gone missing in the interim...     
      
   ttyl     neb   
      
   ... It is the child in man that is the source of his creativity
