Paul also describes his subsequent four-year solo around-the-world sail in a +31-foot boat. And be ready with your inquiries -- Paul will answer your +questions. +

Paul Lutus has a wide background in science and technology. He designed spacecraft +components for the NASA Space Shuttle and created a mathematical model of the solar +system used during the Viking Mars lander program. Then, at the beginning of the +personal computer revolution, Lutus switched career paths and took up computer +science. His best-known program is "Apple Writer," an internationally successful +word processing program for the early Apple computers. +
