- Well, in my humble opinion, I'd say that Bill Budge is doing pretty
- excellent. When he released his software in the early 1980's, those were the
- boom years, and I think he made some big big bucks. I've lived in the San
- Francisco Bay Area for more than 20 years, and I'd never been in a house
- that had such a spectacular view. On a clear day, I bet he can see Hawaii.
-
- He's an avid wind-surfer. And, his current project is to do a Pinball
- Construction Set for the Sega genesis machine.
-
- He provided me with binders filled with source code. If you remember back a
- few months ago, I was asking about how to convert old DOS 3.2 13 sector
- disks. That was why I was asking. Bill didn;t hand me any completed disks
- that were sold. Just source code that had to be convrted and re-compiled. I
- spent a number of hours, and got about 5 disks of pinball stuff, including
- the original pinball.
-
- It was all sent along to Tim Tobin, the coordinator of the Lost Classic
- Project, and he recruited you-know-who to whip it all into shape. For those
- without an imagination, that's Burger Bill.
-
- Tim Tobin says real soon now.
