Same thing I had to do for mine.  The service agreement is kinda detailed.

No he didn't.  He wrote one (1) program, once.  He then conned other, more
productive and skillful men into producing things for him to sell.

His major skill is, and remains, that of the conman.  Enough so that his
own staff are still convinced he knows more than each of them does, in each
of the fields they specialize in.  (Impossible for a brain the size of
Hawking's, the study rate of Renshaw, and the catholic appetite of a
Renissance man.)
