Funny interview to waste time with Solitaire Creator
16 05 2008This link is for an interview with Wes Cherry. You may not know him, but you definitely have utilized his programming skills before. This is the guy that created the version of Solitaire for Windows that I’m sure you’ve spent countless hours playing. This game has been played by almost every single person who has a computer. And he made millions in royalties from it. Wait did I say millions? I meant nothing. That’s right, he didn’t sign any royalty deals or anything of the sort so other than his commission he didn’t make anything for the gajillion clicks of bored stock brokers and housewives. But he’s definitely not bitter. Check out the interview, he’s actually pretty funny. Check it out HERE
“Exactly how much time and money has been wasted globally as a result of office workers playing Solitaire?
There was a global recession in 1991/1992, just after Solitaire was released. Thank you very much. Oh, and you can’t have your time back.”
