Yeah... as I said, hazy memories...

The Windows 1.0 announcement was at the hotel, not the play.  :-)

Whilst waiting for the announcement to start, I went outside for a bit.  I
watched the doorman hailing cabs for the hotel patrons.  Each person tipped
the doorman with one or more bills.  Presuming each bill was a one dollar
bill (unlikely, given the hotel), the doorman was pulling in cash at the
rate of over $60k per year. (not bad for 1983)
