The most complex thing I have ever tried to learn...

I wrote Electric magazine, which was the first bulletin board program. It allowed personal computers to talk to one another. Nobody came before me, with an exception of a small club in Chicago. So I sold this. I called Compusert and there were four system operators there and I asked them if I could advertise. They said, well, how are you calling? I said, on Commodore 64? They said, that's impossible

Hey, Robert, I'm blown away by the world you lived in that was so new to everybody and you were there, you know, creating code and creating community through the electric magazine and what a great name for it. Free bulletin board. I mean, that's incredible. And then opening up a shop and being that guy that knows a lot and people probably just always said, oh, let's ask Robert. He probably knows. That's really amazing

Yeah, 52 years we were married, and she passed away six years ago, so that will be 58 years. I'm an old geezer, but I'm very young at heart. I feel like, what is this mind of my doing in this body? Okay, well, I hope you have a good night or good morning whenever you see this. Bye bye. Thanks again
