One of Bob's favorite installations was on Tom's 47-meter yacht, the "Mi Gaea" where he installed a hidden 18-speaker surround system in the main saloon.

It was during his initial involvement with Tom that  Bob was first introduced to the IBM PC. Being intrigued by this new computing environment, he became a quick study and soon found himself assisting Tom with specific organizational and  personal computing issues at home and in his administrative offices.
