Excellent corrective, Julian, and I thank you for it. That places him 
a lot more to the human side than  had been giving him credit for. 
Nevertheless it's still far from the angelic side that's been the 
stuff of the obits and tributes that have been floating past. On the 
origins of the Mac -- I did hear some stuff on radio here from 
another guy who was supposed to be there at the time. Perhaps I 
misunderstood which computer he was talking about.

As for 80 hours a week? You must all be mad . . .  Simple arithmetic 
tells me that doesn't make for much time with the family.

Cheers, geoff
