So, are we supposed to admire and applaud this jailbird and even wear his tee shirts and buy his books? He sounds like a thug, a crook, a tax-evader, a nut-case, a druggo and a con artist.

Maybe I'm just a party-pooper in the pop culture....so, pardon me if I'm too persnickety, lol.

I don’t think he is a Nut Case at all, but he definately likes trolling the media for amusement.

for anyone who is interested he was interviewed by Art Bell

He is (or was) a brilliant software engineer.
He founded whole categories of software, segments of the industry. This is not pop culture, this is real-world serious.

You have heard of standing on the shoulders of giants? He is one of these giants. There are underpinnings to the world, that which makes everything work, that most people do not care to know, and great men that are forgotten, like when Joseph Whitworth invented standardized screws.

Personally, he is also a very interesting and amusing fellow. He’s also one of these guys that you can both laugh with or at.
