Tom, what a small world! I see you had to deal with the aftermath of some of my code when you were PM for VB5/6. If you remember the horrible VBX interface, that was my fault.

I really appreciate your comment. One friend of mine was interviewed and they asked about her experiences working with Steve, and she said something like, "you'll probably find that some people who've worked with him don't want to talk about it." Ouch.

See my reply to enraged_camel for some related thoughts...

Cannot believe I missed this wonderful reply. For those who don't know, the VBX interface is one of the most successful component models in the history of computing. Growing pains != to failure.
