      From: scott_atkinson@hotmail.com              This is a reply to Turnkit et al.              Dubios & McNamara is the name of the company that wrote the programs that       you mentioned. The programmer was a bloke called Greg Dubios, and the       McNamara was his wife, Patricia. Displayed Video was his US distributor.              He wrote the software in North Rocks, Sydney, Australia. At the time, he was       around 30 odd.              How do I know this???              I hired him as a programmer in the early 90's. I needed a junior to do some       data cleaning & simple programming. Greg applied, and I recognised the name       of Dubios (from my old Model 1 games). He has been out of programming for       about 6 years, and wanted to get back into it. He had no qualifications       (other than his old games). That got him hired on the spot. The company we       worked at went broke in 96, and he still programmed for a while until about       2001.              He does not have anything left of those games (he threw out his Model 3       about 10 years ago). I gave him a copy of them that I downloaded from       trs-80.com              As for the present, he is driving delivery vans. (He was on A Current Affair       (Chn 9 Sydney) a few months back, about Kids & the Internet)              RedskullDC & Mark. I have no idea who you were talking to about this, but it       definately wasn't Greg Dubios (he had & still has a rather distinctive       beard).              I don't really keep in contact anymore (due to matters that I can't go into       here (legal matters)).              Hope this answers your question.              PS I was in Sydtrug as well, out the back of the florist in Botany on       Saturdays. Those were the days.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
