The Engineer invited me into one of Microsoft's Secret Development Labs -- if I promised not to tell anyone about what I was getting ready to see. I leapt at the opportunity! (I must have looked like a dog with my tongue wagging!)
Using a keypad, he punched in his secret code and the door opened. (I thought I was on the Starship Enterprise!) I can't tell you much -- but I'll tell you this -- Microsoft spends "truckloads" of money in researching new ideas and new technologies.
He showed me around -- demonstrating some of the "cool stuff" (he liked saying that) that Microsoft would soon be releasing to the public. (Hint: Think X-Box-ish!)
While we were in that Lab, he stopped, thought for a moment and said,
"Rodney, everyday it still amazes me -- every single day we're generating killer ideas, using our magic system to turn these ideas into software, and getting people to shell out millions of dollars to buy our software all around the world.
"Listen -- we're taking a $20,000 operating system and burning it on to a CD that costs us pennies. In any other industry, you measure margins with a razor -- but not with software industry! We have fat margins!
"Look -- there is no question in my mind or Bill's mind (he calls him Bill!) that creating and publishing software is and will continue to be the most profitable business in the world for the next 50 years!"
I was dumbfounded.
And I was mad! I was mad that companies like Microsoft thought they had some kind of magic pixie dust they could sprinkle on their ideas -- and turn them into raging software successes!
Not true!
But he was also "dead-on" -- there is no single business in the world that can match the sheer potential of the software business. Bill Gates is living proof!

Let me tell you a little story --
In March, I was invited to Microsoft. I was going to meet one of Microsoft's most Senior Software Developers (they call them "Researchers"). He was going to take me on a tour of the "campus" -- complete with beautiful parks, amazing buildings and impressive monuments.
I had never been on Mr. Gates's turf -- and was thrilled to be able to see it for the first time!
When I walked into the engineer's office, he was grinning. (Hey, I just thought he was a generally happy guy!) After a few minutes of small talk, he showed me an image on his computer -- a photo of a beautiful Ferrari, glowing in this wild deep purple hue. I thought he had found the photo at Car and Driver's website.
"Ben, can you believe this is my car? My wife and I flew to Italy to watch as it was being built on Ferrari's assembly line. We wanted to make sure the color was perfect!"
As you can imagine, I was floored!
That was HIS car in HIS driveway!
So I asked --
"How long have you been working here at Microsoft?"
He told me that he'd been there just under 10 years. And noted -- he was thinking about retiring soon.
As we toured more of the "campus", I discovered that Microsoft has created nearly 21,000 millionaires and multi-millionaires in its brief 20-year existence.
Impressive!

WITHIN THIS game is dialogue. There is a bit of dialogue that has become a classic
in the future, or in the tribal war, or wherever the hell it is we are now. Anyway,
I adore it, and it goes like this:
Captain: What happen?
Operator: Somebody set up us the bomb.
Operator: We get signal.
Operator: Somebody set up us the bomb.
Operator: We get signal.
Captain: What!
Operator: Main screen turn on.
Captain: It's You!!
Cats: How are you gentlemen!!
Cats: All your base are belong to us.
Cats: You are on the way to destruction.
Captain: What you say!!
Cats: You have no chance to survive make your time.

Dear You,
You've been asked to give the eulogy for someone you loved. Congratulations... it's a tremendous honor to be invited to write and deliver such a tribute.
And if you're like most people, it's also the hardest speech you'll ever write in your life....
I've written and delivered eulogies for my own sister, father, cousin, uncle, and grandma. And I've helped many people to write their own.
It is my greatest hope that this eBook will provide value to you. It will be one less thing you'll have to worry about, in this difficult time.
My company, Sea Breeze Press, has been publishing and selling directly to customers since 1986. We've sold hundreds of copies at a time to large companies like State Farm Insurance (who wanted books on hand for their employees who were coping with a death in the family)... and single copies to people who've sat at my kitchen table in tears.
Now that we've moved to online publishing, it is so much easier for people to get the guidance they need, right when they need it.
If you would also like help organizing the funeral, please have a look at our companion book, How to Plan a Loving Funeral.
