Since when was Bill Roper a programmer?

• Eighties/early nineties, I guess.

Actually, I think "Developer" is a better word. Here's a snippet from an interview with GameSpy.com:
Bill Roper: I joined Blizzard eight years and eleven months ago. I was hired as a contractor providing music for the PC version of Blackthorne and I also did the first voiceover for the CES demo of Warcraft: Orcs & Humans. I first became a full-time employee on August 1st, 1994.
EDIT: I made some minor changes to the text, added a crude list of work he's done, and added a few new links. I also recommend that the page be renamed Bill Roper (Video Game Developer), however I'm too "young" to make that change myself. AxH0L0tL 15:18, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

I can make the change from (programmer) to something else. He was also a "producer" at one point. Not sure which would be the "correct" descriptive, but "programmer" is obviously incorrect. --srvenable

I spoke with Bill Roper and he said either "video game developer" or "video game producer" would be accurate. --srvenable
