Bill Gates was a no-show. Would that fit in with Gary's "gone
flying"?

And unlike the popular urban myth, Gary Kildall
was not out playing golf
when IBM tried to contact him.
The myth that I had always heard was that he was out flying his airplane.
I asked Tom Rolander about it a few years ago, and it turns out that it
is true but misleading; he was coming back from a customer visit, not
goofing off.
