I have a really powerful urge to see things work.

I'm a great coder. But I am not pushing that so much anymore because there are thousands of great coders.

The program should know if someone is at the keyboard or joystick or if it is just sitting there idle. It should know if someone is proficient in its use or a novice.

On the robot kit, I can choose very boring parts or I can choose exciting and interesting parts. That is a reflection of my personality and the kinds of things I am interested in.

I started on an Apple II, which I had bought at the very end of 1978 for half of my annual income. I made $4,500 a year, and I spent half of it on the computer.

To be honest, I look at my Pinball program and feel that it is old stuff. I could do much better.

Video games are engineered now, but the step I am trying to take, no one can engineer.
