       Good cold day to you Robert.               JP>> before the days of GEOS and of Paul Randall who gave us        JP>> Geofax and many more apps for this very nice but small        JP>> machine.               BK> I also remember all those things, and how Bill Gates really        BK> didn't innovate anything.               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.              --- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:14.0) Gecko/20120713 Thunderbird/14.        * Origin: Fidonet Via Newsreader - http://www.easternstar.info (1:123/789.0)    |
