Interesting

He should have taken part in the 'Windows 95' presentation!

Microsoft used this in nasa program

I just realized that he was only about 30 years old when this video was produced. And yet he looks a lot older than 30 here. 😦 He has barely aged in the 38 years since this commercial was made… but he sure aged a lot in his early adulthood! 😅

Yes, P.O. Boxes were the way to contact Software companies. I remember back in the eighties, I once discovered a bug in an early version of a program. So, I sent the company developing the program a hand-written letter explaing the bug, they sent me a typed letter acknowledging the case, and promised to fix it. And then mailed a floppy disk with the updated version. It took few weeks. Everyone was happy. 😊

Anyone know whatever happened to the awkward, weirdo spokesman?
