Todd has been into programming for MANY years.  He had one of the original
commodore PET machines.  I visited him in Woodstock a number of years ago. 
His buddy and keyboardist Roger Powell took me to Todd's place to see some
graphics things he was working on. I was only there a few hours though...
Todd was sort of "hung over" from his birthday party the previous night.  

Todd wrote a "paint" program for the Apple][ called the Utopia Graphics
Tablet System.  Apple marketed it for a number of months with some success...

I knew that Todd was a brilliant programmer, but I'm as suprised as you are
to hear that he WROTE an operating system. Sheesh, talk about talent...
