You know the great Chris Crawford?! He's a god. Loved Siboot -- nothing
like it at the time.
He spoke at a game developer gathering here in LA many years ago -- yep,
he brought his legendary whip to punctuate key points in his talk. :)
Great guy. He's done so much for the gaming community (not to mention
the Mac community), but in this era of 3D fetishism it doesn't seem his
contributions are as widely acknowleded as deserved.
Tell him it's never too late to start with Rev -- next time I'm up his
way I'd even donate a day of "Rev as a second language" orientation just
for the chance to talk with him a spell.

Richard and Judy,
I suspect this is the same Chris Crawford that was a physics major at
UC Davis many years back. I never had him as a student but he was
legendary among his classmates. Always had a stuffed animal under his
arm--a green frog, as I recall. Very bright, very eccentric.
Jim
