That's cool... so AllAdvantage hired you as a consultant to help protect against your software?


Yup, it was pretty wild. MyAdvantage was the first of its kind back then, before all the clones came out. It still did the best job, in my opinion. I remember a few times I had to duck out of some classes when I was a junior in high school and go to the boy's room to attend a conference meeting because there was some crazy new attack on the ViewBar. This was before cell phones were popular and inexpensive. Before they ran out of business, they still owed me about $26K for that month. Kept delaying, and then they went bankrupt.
