Punch cards were about the level the industry was at when she died. My dad didn’t have much of a clue about computers either – he died in 1991. But they did seem to have a clue about the havoc I might cause.

My dad said to me in the early 1970s “Mike, if you spent as much time on the job you now have rather than making magazines, your future would be secure.”

So you are right Gene. They had no warning :) They just knew me.

You’ve always got to be the best, don’t you? Well, OK, then. Be that way, Be The Best. You probably can’t even spell retirement, can you? It’s just as well; you would be miserable if you couldn’t spend every waking minute taking your game to the next level. I know how that is. You’re just making it harder for the other journalists, though. You probably know that, too, don’t you? I bet your mother and father had no idea of the havoc that you would create in the IT news business. I bet you didn’t even warn them at all!
