I happened to be invited to dinner with him on his houseboat in Sausalito about five years ago. He gave me a copy of his "book" and a personal demo of Xanadu running in an emulator. Seems to me he had some pretty innovative ideas early on, but he's not really an engineer and he could never make it work. He was sort of at the right place at the right time to make some kind of impact anyway. He's also really good at self promotion.
