You are probably right, but those brain cells died long ago. I actually never thought the IBM PC would take off. They had bizarre memory reservations at the top and bottom of RAM. I was betting on KayPro. Could not have gotten it more wrong. At first, I was all excited about the Osborne, but I met him at Comdex and changed my mind. He might just have been having a bad day. I met him a few years later when he was trying to get Brown Bag Software off the ground and he seemed more coherent. He had that super-mellow manner that leaves you with the impression that he finally found the right meds.
