I doubt if you could find more than one person in a million who knows me.

Interesting story. THis happened about 16 years ago, when Dr SOlomon's 
Antivirus Toolkit" was the premier product in many countries.

I went to my 10-yo daughter's school pantomime, which was very good. As we
left afterwards, a little gorl came up to me and said "I know who you
are!"  "Ah," I said, preening a bit, even an under-10 kid know me!

"You're Angela's dad."


Ever since then, it's been a family joke, whenever I get a bit big-headed, 
I get reminded who I am. "You're Angela's dad".


Epilogue.

So, when Angela graduated, we went down to her uni as proud parents to 
watch the ceremonies and congratulate her. Afterwards, there was a 
cheese-and-wine do at the English Literature faculty, and she dragged us 
along to that, too. And a guy came up to me at the party, and said "I know 
who you are". Yeah, yeah, I thought, been there, done that, I'm Angela's 
Dad. "You're Dr Solomon, wrote the Antivirus Toolkit". Apparently, he'd 
been one of the people who resold the software to end-users.
