WHOLLY FREAKIN CRAP

Forget Atari, they need to call it the 'Nolan'

OMG...I'm so sorry for all my remarks and everyone I offended, and I'm really just a normal guy........

AWWWW CRAP, I guess its too late for that.

Anway, Nolan was a childhood hero of mine...and I liked him before his most famous work, Pizza Time Theatre...I liked him before Atari even...before Pong...Computer Space War...

before its reasonably possible that I could have possibly have heard of him....hmmm, let me back track, I liked him since Pong, before that, never heard of the guy.

OH WOW, well good luck...Nolan Bushnell is a legend, just one hint, jump ship about the same time Nolan does...OK.....

That is so great....well this is truly a wild day, full of wonderful news.

@KennyR

ACK! I'm being personally attacked...ACK! ACK!

Seriously KennyR...if you read sarcasm into my statement...don't.  I have followed Nolan Bushnell for a long time, I was quite serious about that.

My family bought a PONG machine, before we bought an Atari VCS...whether that was the same Pong Nolan did, or the many clones, I don't know.

But I definately became aware of Nolan's career, and was a big fan.

Am I misinformed?  Oh probably...you see, from my limited perspective, I can only see the great successes and spectacular failures, but I always respected Nolan as a big risk taker, who was one of the pioneers in Silicon Valley.

Nolan pointed out in an interview with a newspaper a while...that Fortune magazine only profiles someone when they are a spectacular success or on their way down in spectacular fashion...his goal was to be profiled in Fortune an odd number of times.

I love that humor!  


Thanks everyone, for the kind words...NOW,
I will be out for a while...I'm working on some
code....(easier said than done, since online chat
is a big addiction with me...but I will try)
