Imagine that:  I've got an Apogee story you've never heard. :-)  ISTR the guy 
was nasty with Pat Miller, thinking her to be one of the office geishas who had 
to make him coffee, not realizing who she was (and where HE was).  May have 
been George's ma, too.

Remember how Scarff laughed when a dealer from "Fukyu" wrote? :-)  Man, he used 
to come out of his office with this grin on his face, wanting to share the 
latest hilarity with the tech room.  I remember one time, too, I got a pretty 
nasty letter from someone who cried about how we did such a lousy support job 
for that Doom game he bought from us.  Dennis grabbed the letter from me and 
sent his own response, doing everything but calling the guy a "dummy" (and you 
know how diplomatic Dennis could be).
