As Spira travelled the world during the fabulous ’80s, he became acquainted with many thousands of people, and attracted quite the following of lovely young ladies. Spira struggled to keep in contact with all of them, and his little black book quickly turned into a large 3-ring binder overflowing with Rolodex cards, cocktail napkins and Polaroids. Spira knew there had to be a better way to catalogue this information and communicate with his contacts throughout the known world. Spira quickly developed an affinity for computers and, after purchasing a Macintosh in 1984, he declared it to be the finest piece of machinery he had ever set eyes on! After mastering Oregon Trail, Spira wondered why he could not use his computer to communicate with other computer owners. By deconstructing a fax machine, Spira created the first prototype modem with some basic soldering skills, a paperclip, rubber bands and duct tape. Spira and Ronald Reagan worked together to create the Internet, but mutually agreed to allow Al Gore to make the announcement and take credit for the landmark creation. As it turns out, Spira and President Reagan took pity on a downtrodden Senator Gore following a dismal losing streak at an Atlantic City casino in 1987. Among his lesser-known ’80s inventions, Spira also created the keytar, which he claims as one of the only regrets in an illustrious life full of glory and victory.
