The book, Almost Perfect, was originally published by Prima Publishing in 1994. It is the story of the rise and fall of WordPerfect Corporation from my point of view.

It is already providing facinating reading. Hearing about the recession of the early 80’s and comparing it to the current one is rather theraputic.

Although I did not know it at the time, that $5 an hour part-time job would turn into a great opportunity. Somehow I had arrived at exactly the right place at exactly the right time.
…
Like some rare astrological phenomenon when all the planets are perfectly aligned, all the necessary events came together at just the right time, and a new and soon to be successful company was born.

It amazes me how much computers have changed in 20 years and how little the whole buisness aspect of computers and software has changed in 20 years.
