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).
