The Onset of SenilityAt Age Twenty-Five

How many errors can you find in this statement (made by Autodesk's external pr firm in an email to editors)?

Did you know that 25 years ago John Walker & 16 employees started Autodesk, with the sole goal of creating a CAD application for under $1,000?

I count five errors. (I'll list the ones I found here on Monday.)

I gentley suggest that whoever was responsible for drafting that sentence take the Remedial CAD History class at Autodesk U. In preparation, please read John Walker's recollections in The Autodesk File.

I doubt that there is anyone left at Autodesk who has been in the industry long enough to teach a "Remedial CAD History" class based on personal knowledge.

In any event, PR firms are not known for their dedication to historical accuracy.
