      Agreed. I got to see him speak once years ago, wonderful lecture on the nature of creativity, lateral thinking, and just… stuff. Hard to describe, but just excellent.

    Fun fact. He composed the Windows 95 chime on a Mac, and has stated that he’s never used Windows.

      When you are [old / young] enough, Windows 95 feels like it would be retro. It’s at just about that right age where it works both ways.
