My point is that the “Old Dude” does embrace computers and they can do great things, fantastic things as it has turned out. I don’t think any of us knew exactly what computers could do for drawing back then, ideas were just rumors. I did that because I saw it all coming and wanted to play a part. I went back to school to take computer programming and learned FORTRAN & COBOL to figure it out. Called a Sinclair ZX80, I had to hook it up to my TV and I sat on the living room floor at night trying to write a program to get it to draw something. About the time Bill Gates was just figuring out BASIC in 1980 I bought one of the first portable computers by mail-order from an ad in The Wall Street Journal. Chigurh, sometimes more words are necessary to keep from being misunderstood – and here they are: This “Old Dude” was all over this revolution before it ever happened.
