   	That Wiz' name is Maurice Randall. I got involved with him as he was coding   
   Geofax. It worked really nice on the C=64 and/or 128. His site is still up, I   
   went and had a look yesterday.   
      
   	He is more involved these days with NASCAR.   
      
   	You are right, Bill G. did not actually instigate much, he sure developed a   
   lot of those ideas anyway. One of my last incursion in the C=128 was using a   
   PRG to calculate what my pension was going to be. I forget the name of that   
   PRG but it was written by Microsoft, the opening screen said so. Multiplan,   
   the name just got back to me. An Excel precursor.   
      
   	I was fun looking at those GEOS screens on that site.
