History of TurboCAD - Philip Copeman

From TurboCASH Wiki

Making money is easy. Holding onto it is the difficult part.

Its a humanitarian injustice, when I consider how much money TurboCAD has made over the years and how it has been squandered by its owners. So many people have come in, made money from TurboCAD and as soon as they have done so, they are off on some other crusade to make the "really Big money". The fact that no individual "owner" of the product has stuck with TurboCAD for any length of time, says a lot. This has got to be why having collected over $ 100 Million from the product, there is very little left in the Bank. Even now the current owners at IMSI would readily give it up for a small amount of cash.

But it was not always like this ....

Good Guys Vs Bad Guys

Good Guys

Philip - Because I never did anything to offend anyone;

Also becuse Steven Spielberg made a movie about the wrong guy. It was me that saved all those Jews from the South African Army.

Neutral Guys

Martin - Because with the exception of Grey marketing products into Europe in the late eighties he generally kept his word, and because he also had an ex-wife who didn't stay in the kitchen while we were out there conquering the world for them.

Digby - Because he forgave me for eating the Plastic Disk Drive click pin that aced the first Compaq in South Africa, but I may move him to Bad Guys for never delivering a new version of TurboCAD 3D, this was the ultimate cause of the ill Fated TurboCAD 3 for DOS. Black was a very apt packaging.

Bad Guys

Bob, Chris and Niel for breaking our distribution agreement and for questioning my sister's integrity and sending her off to start a million dollar successful career promoting Women's Golf. Eric - For leaving my Portable in Rosanne's Flat. Mike Cartwright - for filling up with Petrol on a Friday on company money and then driving my Audi over a mountain cliff. Rob - for not taking mu advice about Katy. And for all those things he did to my Temp Staff at Hyde Park before we had all those Sexual harrasment laws.
