John:
You've got Dr. Leary's home phone…. Hmmmm… Be careful what ya wish for…
seems to be running through my head right now.
Seriously John, I wouldn't want to impose on Dr. Leary but I would truely like
to meet him some day. Perhaps I will be attending an event at AutoDesk or in
that general area in the future and could check with you or his publicist
regarding a photo opportunity and maybe a few min. of interesting conversation.
I actually have an old Video tape "Somewhere around here" of the Dr. Leary and
Dick Cavett interview many years ago when he first started going public again.
In it I remember he mentioned the Future was in Computers and that was actually
one of the reasons I'm an AutoDesk Multimedia Dealer today. Strange that I
might have the oppertunity to actually thank him in person. A lot of people in
my generation ( I'm in my 40's ) only remember the sensational press garbage.
A few of us actually listened to what he had to say and are really the better
for it. Dr. Leary and I may have something in common in that both of us seem
to have been ahead of our time in many instances, however I've learned to
disregard the rest of the worlds opinion when it came to future technologies
because you gotta lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way…. I prefer to
Lead and ignore my detractors. This sometimes gets a bit difficult especially
when you're trying to convince someone of the benifits of working in 3D Space
all the while they're concerned about "Change" being an "inconvience". When I
start getting bogged down with that I remember how nice it is to be doing what
you want to be doing regardless of your bank accounts current status. "Just
give me a 3 Dimensional environment and a computer program to steer her by."
Seriously John, I would like to meet Dr. Leary. Do you think this would be
possible perhaps next time I'm in the area?
