I have the original RCT in my hands. It's amazing to look at that and say, "That was made by some everyday Joe in 1998? And it's that good?" Just blows my mind.

HWAHWAYPIORU#@$!@$#)*(@&DUH@!OLJE@!$&@!*($& !@# He is a computer science GOD!!! He build the original Roller Coaster Tycoon in Assembly. A task that is just mind boggling.

Well not completely too. Christ had about ten games under his belt including the praised Elite Series and Transportation Tycoon.
I noticed he was a constulant on Roller Coaster Tycoon 4, I wonder if he allowed them to do that so he could get the better Roller Coaster for PC.

Its okay. In my circles most ppl idolize Chris Sawyer, Along with Jobs, Gates, Dennis Richie, and A few others.

I only know Jobs and Gates. I'm very bad with names and what they did though so I could just as easily get one of them confused for what the other made and vice versa...

Lol its okay. You wouldn't know Dennis Richie unless you were in the computer Science field. He is the creator of C and cofounder of unix.

I have no idea what that is but unix sounds familiar for some odd reason,but that's great to know... At the moment I have to freshen up on my programming notes for my class which is my least favorite class because of my teacher...Lol its okay. You wouldn't know Dennis Richie unless you were in the computer Science field. He is the creator of C and cofounder of unix.

If you have ever used mac, you have used the closest "Popular" remnant of Unix. Government and a few other companies use unix, but not many people use straight unix for day to day home use.

Jobs...does...not...deserve...praise (outside of being a slave dri...er...intense businessman...and stealing others ideas, making them quite slick and sexy, and marketing them brilliantly)

Your right. I just threw it out there. He was a brilliant Marketeer, on the other hand. ALL PRAISE WOZ

Well... I knew of him. And I'm not even close to being in the computer science field. But I subscribe to a lot of informative magazines, so I'm sure I heard of him from one of those.Lol its okay.

Mucho respect as a marketer. Gates's theory was "get them hooked at work and they'll use it at home".
Jobs was like...forget the adults. Get the kids using it, then make it cool. A cult of personality.
This, of course, is a gross oversimplification, but it's a valid one.

I would agree with this, that is the problem with Apple. People follow them blinding (as I type this on my Macbook) which gets on my nerves as a Developer.Mucho respect as a marketer. Gates's theory was "get them hooked at work and they'll use it at home".

Just to let everyone know, there has been a big change in PMs. So, for my competition, I need larger teams. So, I talked to Steve about upping the number of PM invitations and he changed it to 10!!!!!
