Haha, this is funny.

I interned 1 week at this company in 1991 as a 'snuffel-stage' while in high-school ( Kraneweg at the time ).

Congrats on the App!



That's awesome! :D


It was awesome, they really went out of their way and teamed me up with someone every other day:

Monday: Desktop publishing with Ventura and LASER printers. Yes: laserprinters. Tuesday: Hit the road to install network at a client site with Coaxial cables. Wednesday & Thursday: Let me sit in with the dev guys: TurboPascal. Friday: Assembling PCs.

Still wondering if they pulled a trick on me with the mystery customer showing up.

Fond memories & have been in IT all my life.


That's exactly how I imagine that era, feel free to drop by for a coffee if you're ever around (we're @ zuiderpark now)
