I have it in my bedroom, and I see it every day. Nice. Yeah. And not only I bought it, the original is now in a museum. I bought an artist's lithograph or so forth, which is, I'm told, the best you can get and It didn't cost nearly 10 grand, but the memory is what matters.

Yeah. So anyhow, so I read the book or the salient parts of the book while I was waiting and wrote my first couple of programs on the way back. And based on that book, I taught myself how to program. And I eventually switched to the Pascal language, sold my Apple computer and bought an IBM, and then started my first business, which was called Parsis Technology.

Just work, baby, work. And then when I first started getting Parsons Technology off the ground, I wrote the code for a program that would take care of home finances. I called it Money Counts. It got to be pretty good. Then I quit my job. I started this leasing division for this company. And if I had stayed there, this was like November, no, October.

Had I stayed there through the end of the year, I'd have got $50,000, would have got a bonus. I quit. And the reason I quit was... I figured I had just enough time if I worked hard to write a tax software program, do a 1040. And I got it done. But to get it done, I would work 60-hour shifts. I would come in. to work, let's say, 8 a.m. Monday morning, work 8 a.m. Tuesday morning, 8 a.m.
