Bob Wallace (May 29, 1949 – September 20, 2002), was the ninth Microsoft employee, first popular user of the term shareware, creator of the word processing program PC-Write, founder of the software company Quicksoft and an "online drug guru" who devoted much time and money into the research of psychedelic drugs. Bob was also noted for ending his Usenet posts with the phrase, "Bob Wallace (just my opinion)."
Bob Wallace was born in Arlington, Virginia. He first worked on computers as a member of an Explorer Scout troop sponsored by Control Data Corp. in Bethesda, Maryland. His father was an economist who later became Assistant Secretary of the Treasury during the administration of John F. Kennedy.
Bob attended Brown University and later received his Masters in computer science from the University of Washington.
Wallace worked at the Retail Computer Store in Seattle, where he learned about Microsoft after Bill Gates put up a sign advertising for programmers. He joined Microsoft in 1978 as the 9th employee. His first project was to connect a computer to an IBM Selectric typewriter so the company could print software manuals. In the late 1970s, Wallace and Gates were known for their hijinks, and one incident involved breaking into a construction site and driving bulldozers, at one point almost running over Gates's Porsche.

‘Long around about June
I’ll be walking with Sugar
‘Neath that old Sugar Moon.
Gonna drop her a line,
To expect me soon,
Say I’m cravin’ some sugar
'Neath that old Sugar Moon.
I can see her right now,
She’ll get the calendar down,
And put a circle around,
The date we’re altar bound.

‘Long around about June,
Wedding bells will be chiming
‘Neath that old Sugar Moon.

I’ll be walking with Sugar,
‘Neath that old Sugar Moon.
All the kisses I’ve missed
I’ll be getting soon
Sugar kisses from Sugar

Oh, I’m dreamin’ sweet dreams
Of all the lovin’ I’ll get
When I get back to my pet,
Oh, lawdy, how I’ll fret,
Till it’s sugar cane time,
‘Long around about June
And I’m walking with Sugar
