Parsons made a slick little Address Book program that I still use to this day.

Bob Parsons is an interesting, entrepreneurial kind of a guy. He got in on the front end of the technology curve in the early 1990s when Parsons Technology made a name for itself in Evangelical circles by being among the first to market Bible software. His QuickVerse software brought the Scriptures to Christian computer users’ fingertips.
Parsons has more recently made an even bigger name for himself in secular circles by creating a racy TV ad that ran nationwide during the 2005 Superbowl. That spoofish spot featured a buxom blond who was allegedly testifying before a Congressional committee on censorship, while her bra strap supposedly kept slipping down and threatening to expose her ample bosom. Fox and the NFL then spiked the second-half airing of the ad — which sparked an even bigger flurry of media attention.
When criticized by Christians for hypocrisy, Parsons fought back. "To this day I consider myself a Christian," he insisted. "But I am not a fundamentalist Christian. I am also not a member of the Religious Right. I am not opposed in any way to these groups. I am just not part of them. My beliefs today are exactly what they were back when I owned Parsons Technology. I’m still the same guy."
