Random encounter: I was at a piano competition in Texas a few years back and in the parking lot I bump into someone who looked a lot like Scott Cutler. Turns out it was Scott Cutler. Had great conversations about MDL, ZORK and Schumann. (Scott Cutler wrote the ZIL interpreter for the TRS-80 back in the day. Maybe for other platforms, too. Can't remember off the top of my head.)
