Sorry to see you go, I have shadowed your tenures since the TRS-80 Model 100 (Early 80’s) OS that you co-authored, the last coding project you performed.
Though I have not matched your wealth, Microsoft has afforded me a very comfortable lifestyle for > 20 years!
I remember the Altair moments in “Popular Electronics” and the on going “Forrest Mims” columns!
This all turned me from an “Agronomy” major to a “Comp Sci” major in just a few months early in my education!
I even published articles in the “Microsoft Systems Journal” now the “MSDN” in the past.
Good luck and for posterity I post this picture.
No...the dude in the middle did not turn into a female!
