Reaper's Dialogue
My day-to-day rambles / discussions over Go-Gaia and the rest of the frickin' world ...
Chpt. 26 -- Microsoft Bob?
Amazingly enough, I went to Sierra's website that hosts the awards/staff/updates to their smash-hit, Half-Life (original). Just getting it recently, I went there to receive the 1.10.00 patch, and skimmed the staff page. Arriving the bottom, I saw the "previous projects" section and, to my amazement, saw "Microsoft Bob" under their projects.

Naturally, I had to figure out what the hell it meant.

So, I skimmed around the Internet {mainly Google} and, to my surprise, found out that "Microsoft Bob" was the codename for a canned project that was supposed to bring the Address Book and other applications in the Accessories folder to one easy-to-use program. Good thing it was canned ... imagine this in your Star-Up Menu ...

[-(-{ Don't believe me? Check out the Sierra/Half-Life main website and click on "the staff" link on the left toolbar. Scroll to the bottom, and Microsoft Bob is there, bottom-left column: http://half-life.sierra.com/ ... have fun! }-)-]
