I just have to laugh when I read that. Well, he got the deluge part
right. :-)
Microsoft's tenth hire was Bob Wallace. He left Microsoft about 1982 and
started Quicksoft ("PC-Write"). He said that he wanted "to make a living,
not a killing". He was the first to leave Microsoft with stock. He died
in September 2002.
