I just have one side note/question:
Why is Mr. Wright always mentioned as "Dr."? Is it his first name, or an
academic title? If it's a title, I don't understand why it is so much
emphasized, because titles aren't widely used in the UK in public
informal places (like this, as far as I know - argue if you have
different experience). Especially if we look around, I am sure that many
people in Sam community have some academic title, and nobody ever use it
here. I personally use my title only in stuff related to my job at the
university, which is pretty obvious, but nowhere else.
So what is Dr. Andy Wright different in? ;-)
That has also puzzled me - I think it's just because it's used
predominantly in reference and thus deemed more polite.
Also if you look on the SamDOS disc his demo's are referred to as 'Dr
Wright's Graphics' rather than 'Mr. Andrew J. A. Wright's' or any other
construction so it may have just stuck in the collective conscience.
