I think my first independent project (meaning got paid and everything and I wasn't an employee) was on a tandy 1000 clor computer. Had it set up so a small ski area north of here could run their entire operation on it.
Had them as a client for about 12 or 13 years right up till when I got married and ended up without enough time to do much outside contract work.
Took them from the Tandy 1000 up to a couple of 286 boxes, then from the 286s onto 4 or 5 486s and then on up to about 10 P3's. Now they are on some real muscle boxes and are running 7 areas across the Midwest and East Coast.
Damn time flys, don't it
