Where is Ross Perot when we need him?


===

Died last year -July 9, 2019. I once met Perot back in the '90s at a
sailing party in Bermuda. Interesting guy who had a profound
influence on corporate mainftame computing among other things.


He "fired" me once at EDS in Rockville Md.
I think he was disappointed when he was told that I worked for IBM and
he couldn't really fire me but it was because he saw me in the
computer room with hair on my face.
I just caught a glimpse of him because I was working. It wasn't until
later that I found out what happened. The computer operators thought
it was funny.
