The hardest part was getting the window net hooked back. I didn't think I was ever going to get it hooked. I finally got it hooked. If I'd known that I wouldn't have tried to hook it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wanted to communicate and connect. I simply didn't seem able to do it.
In the first eight or so years at Microsoft, we were always chained to our terminals, and after I got sick the first time, I decided that I was going to be more adventurous and explore more of the world.
I can't go to the hardware store, cut a sheet in half and staple it to the window anymore. It doesn't fly.
The more ways we have to connect, the more many of us seem desperate to unplug.
I really liked figuring things out on my own. Early on in the development of a new version of Windows, I would explore it, I would try out various things, I would see what worked, I would see what didn't work.
I remember one of my writers on 'Weeds' got a new apartment and didn't get cable or a dish. He just hooked his computer up to the TV. I was like, 'This is it. This is how it's happening.'
I'm a very simple man. You've got to have, like, a computer nowadays to turn the TV on and off... and the nightmare continues.
I didn't have a hard time making it, I had a hard time letting it go.
I've worked really hard, but it's definitely not been easy.
Don't waste a minute not being happy. If one window closes, run to the next window- or break down a door.
