Yep.  Maybe I gave Guy too much credit.  We dealt with Scott Fahlman, too,
but mostly with Guy.  He came to Dallas several times for consulting & BBQ.
Since I was implementing Spice Guts in 68000 assembler, he was pretty interested,
Even walked through my code with me a couple of times, suggesting neat tricks.
We tried pretty hard to hire him, but his wife liked Pittsburgh, or at least that was
his excuse.
