Bingo!  Thanks!

Quoting from a message from Jaime Cruz on January 4, 1995:

Hold it... I see the reason for that last one here on page 95 in John
Dvorak's "Inside Track" column:  "Charles Petzold arrived at
the Betty Boop Bar and showed off a tattoo he had on his right upper bicep.
 It depicted the Microsoft Windows logo!"
