Weird, I was looking him up online a few months ago, wondering what had happened to him, and the software he got from SCO (SmallFoot I think the name was).
He was such a weird character at the time and the whole law suit seemed to be on everyone's mind, even if we didn't think SCO would ever win. Thinking about a person like this, going home in the evening and having dinner with the family always makes me wonder what motivates them. Well money, but surely he also believed that he was in the right?
It's a little sad that this two-bit manager was ever placed in charge of SCO. He was pretty much responsible for breaking SCO and ruining the lives of so many of it's employees. I'd like to have had SCO around, it was a fascinating relic of a different era. Not that they would have survived long in any case.
Still I'm also a little happy that he went out an did stuff afterwards.
Reminds me of Nintendo in the present day. They were a technically innovative company, but recently they've stopped innovating and started two big legal wars they're unlikely to win.
