heh, i remember everyone was decrying the system requirements. 486 and 8 meg
recommended. i only had a cursory look at it, and seemed lame from the start
by having a cheezy cartoon dog tell you what to do! of course, they've
continued that legacy with the paper clip help in ms office. just give me
regular F1 help and i'm happy. of course, if i could find a copy, i would keep
it along with my other failed collector's items like my pcjr and apple ///.

 And yes, Bill married the project lead behind Bob. Ugh.
 
 ca. 1993 I believe.
