Re: Interview with SJ
I really liked the interview. I believe that it speaks volumes that Steve Jackson takes the time to speak with the fans of his company's products. Kudos to Douglas Cole and Steve Jackson for it.

Re: Interview with SJ
I just finished up...I'm kind of wowed with the last little bit about my little endeavour. Bit more than wowed. Stunned really. Overall, good stuff. His insight into the industry is as deep as it is experienced.

Re: Interview with SJ
So... he doesn't look like he's older than 60 - in fact, he looks more like 50. And he started the company 35 years ago, which means he must have been in his mid-20s at most when he went "on his own".
Wow. That's some major balls there.

Re: Interview with SJ
I love how it says c. 1953. We demand to see his birth certificate! The truth cannot stay hidden!

ETA: Interesting interview. Never met the man. Though I think he smoked a few of my battle fleets over at UltraCorps. But hey, 'Say La Gair.'
