I'm the guy

Blair Newman

"Recruited"
to convince
Billy G

"NOT to worry"

about his parents disowning him
( he wanted to "drop out" of Harvard he DID )

he was a "Soph" FROM ACROSS THE River

at our

Harvard Business Skewl Dec-10
( because he was outta computer time over "there" )

I had to "convince" him
( as per Blair's request as I had been "mentoring" since age 12 )

ABOUT

the soon to BE

"$ !0 Billion Hobby Computer Kit Market"

and I did SO
( history shows the "result"... BUT
NOT my doing..."Blair's..?   ..ask Stevfe Jobs ! )

OK roll "Forward toe the Microsoft/IBM" deal

Both Blair and I had multiple contacts
via SV and IBM
that "let it be known"
 what happenned
at :"Digital Research" in Pacific GroveM left ...
(after 2 1/2 hours of sitting in the lobby)

simple..."Non-Disclosure"
( of what IBM was going to tell them
B & I knew..no :"ND" necessary )

SO
MOST of the step "'behind the scenes"

leading to the MS/IBM "non-exclusive" DEAL

ONLY BG and ME

"KNOW"
( I never even MET "Paul Allen"
his name was NEVER mentioned to me by
BG, Blair, nor anyone..over ALL those years)

except...when Blair was "beating up" BG . to call Ed Roberts
and "claim" to have a Basic
( touting "I know 33 guys in No. Cal who can port Dartmought Basic in about 30 days )
