Only in the last couple/few years, stumbling on it at Youtube. He did seem like a neat guy. A smart guy, too. But not business savvy. If there was one thing you could go back in time and do to utterly change the world, it would be to make sure he secured the deal with IBM. But then....would we have GUIs?.....
