Where's Peter Norton?

Just what happened to Peter Norton anyway? Did he cash out so big with the
Symantec holding company that he is now a surf bum? I hope he still breathes
and walks amongst us of course but I've wondered what happened to the guy
who at one time was recognized as one of the best programmers around.

That is my take. He was the best. I grew up on Dos, Norton, and his tools
and books. He cashed out 10+ years ago IIRC. Not sure what he is doing
now.

I didn't even think of it but you're right. It was an interesting summary.
Wouldn't it be a trip to learn he decided to build software aain now that
he's "separated but still married?"
