    Oh, what a huge gigantic missed opportunity :(

    I guess it was cathartic for Mr. Ritchie to reveal this to the world so he can stop kicking himself.. I will try not to ever miss opportunities again!

    I bet he is sorry that he declined the offer to make the first WEB-Browser, but is he happy? :)
