Ok, this has absolutely NOTHING to do with X1/9′s but I met Mr. Ross Perot today. I’m working on a project in conjunction with Perot Systems and this week I flew to Plano, Texas to the headquarters of Perot to participate in the first round of integrated testing of the new system. I was told that Mr. Perot eats lunch with the rest of the employees in the cafeteria, but saw it first hand when I sat across from his table during lunch yesterday. Today, I was able to catch up with in the corridor as he was walking back to his office from lunch as asked if we may have a photo together. He was more than happy to. Afterwards, we shook hands and parted ways.
Mr. Perot is currently ranked 57 on Forbes Richest Americans at $4.3B. After meeting him in person, you wouldn’t know it. He’s a really nice, talkative gentleman.
The FIAT (and myself) is now relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada. It has so far made 2 trouble-free treks to Orange County and back. I’ve found a local car club; the Las Vegas Italian Auto Club. I’ve summoned Greg Silver about their existence and we’re going to check them out on the 25th at their regularly scheduled meeting at Bootlegger Restaurant on The Strip.
