In his blog, Scott Adams describes his exasperating experience following a change of motherboards. Central to the story is the fact that he has two phone numbers for Windows re-activation, both of which claim they are an official Microsoft call center and that the other is a scam. Neither are any help anyway. Seems to be a topical issue right now.

    To me, Scott Adams is the guy who wrote the Adventure games for the TRS-80. I know an imposter started a popular comic strip some 10 years later but, IMHO, Scott Adams is the Adventure guy.

    yeah, tongue in cheek, I RTFA. But my point stands. While I'm at it, get off my lawn.

    Are you *sure* they're different people? Has anyone ever seen both of them in the same room?

    I met that Scott Adams; he interviewed me for a programming job there (it was the Apple II, not TRS-80). I screwed up royally; I worked at Disney at the time, so my hair was short and my face shaven, and I wore business attire to the interview.

    Everybody there looked like they were straight out of a Cheech and Chong movie; all hair, beards, jeans, t-shirts.

    I didn't get the job.
