I am also a science fiction and fantasy author. At 68, I am also a retired Computer Engineer/Scientist (Systems architect and kernel programmer -- 1977 - 2004 15 years Aerospace/DoD and 20 years telco), (Asm and C++, there is a difference? From Digital Research (CPM) daze) and I remember a company called General Magic, inc. ;)

I have about 9 books that I haven't published yet but will soon. (I've been saying that for about 20 years now ;) "soon" is an open variable. ;)
