OT How did you get to sit with Ballmer?

I was a user group president. One of the top 20 user groups in the world. I have had dinners, and private meetings with Ballmer, Gates, Borland's Philip Kahn, Symantec's Gordon Eubanks, Wordperfect co founder Dr. Alan Ashton, Intel's Andy Grove as well as others less famous.
Being a User Group President for 5 years was the most amazing experiences of my life.

One of the most interesting experiences was seeing Kahn demonstrate the first Quattro Pro for Windows (beta name "Thor"). It was the first product to use Page Tabs for menus, and the right mouse button for menus on demand. These two features are now in almost EVERY windows software today.

Thank you for asking.
