[Stratoscope]

This brings back fond memories. Charles thanked me in the Acknowledgements section of the first edition of Programming Windows as "the indefatigable Michael Geary."

I had spent many hours on BIX and CompuServe and maybe GEnie helping other Windows programmers get their start.

So I like to think that in a small way I contributed to Charles' success in educating a generation of Windows programmers.

Remember, friends, always pass it forward.
