one of my catches even made the readme.txt file (something about lowering graphics performance with certain Toshiba laptops)

That was a fun trip up there. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. I even met Steve Ballmer at an Incredible Universe the night of launch. The Pres (or some other very high up) of Incredible Universe was there, too, and we talked him into letting us install the Plus Pack on one of the display computers.

Had a meeting on Microsoft's campus the following day and joined a group of volunteers called ClubWin. We monitored the Microsoft Usenet newsgroups to help new users. i focused on home networking and had put together a little document of how to configure a home network of PCs using TCP/IP. We even got sent jackets with a ClubWin logo. wore that for a long time.
