(The Lucasfilm guys Chip, Doug and Randy, are in the front row--looking a few decades more mature than the rest of the Yahoos). It was a nice crowd in Building C, classroom 3).
And a fine time was had by all.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for coming to Yahoo! and giving such a fascinating presentation. As a musician/recordist and a UI person, I was especially interested in the SoundDroid since it seems to be the first graphical audio editing tool. If you have more information on this I would love to see it. I will be getting your book soon!
Best Regards,
Justin Davis
Justin -
I appreciate your comments. I will say - and i hope this doesn't sound flip - that pretty much everything i know about the SoundDroid is in the book... it's hard to tease out its development from the larger progress being made at Lucasfilm in the early 80s...
Check out DROIDMAKER, and then drop me a note if you'd like to discuss it more.
cheers

I have been following your career closely, Mike. I even took a recent trip to the land of your birth, saw your first home, touched some of your things... I even spent some time talking with your parents. Nice people. I could even come to think of them as MY parents.
Oh, wait. They ARE my parents.
Hey, bro. I just jumped onboard to pass this along: everywhere I went in Gainesville on my recent visit I bumped into people who saw you speak there, and everyone was impressed as hell. That's huge. Anyone can fool an out of town crowd, but you fooled - I mean, impressed - the hometown crowd. You conquered, bro. We're proud of you.
