I don't know if he mentioned the title of the company.
But anyway.
The video game was sort of like Space Invaders or Asteroid, whatever that that early Atari game was, where you had to like s uh Space Commander whatever it was.
And what Scott did, which was interesting, was he he offered an open source option for the game.
So you could either buy the game and play it, or you could buy the code, program it yourself and change it as you went along, which is really interesting.
But what I find interesting about it is that he invented a logo for the software company and the logo is a character that looks very much like Dilbert.
So um, you know, little things like that.
Um, he did try everything.
He tried absolutely everything and
It's interesting what he you know, the cartooning part of his life wasn't even the focus.
I mean, he became a successful cartoonist, but he didn't just leave Pacific Bell and say, I'm gonna be a cartoonist.
He was also exploring other things.
He he had an invention called the Folderoo.
Have you ever heard of the Folderoo?
that?
The folderoo was basically a manila folder with another little pouch attached to it where you would put a floppy disk.
So if you had files and printouts, you could keep them inside the folder, and then you'd have the disk on the outside of the folder.
So you weren't always losing the disk.
Because you know the f these file folders, you put a disc inside and they would fall out and whatever.
Completely useless today.
