I love this. When I was 17 my dad got me a summer job on the plant he worked at. 40 hours a week in the parts shop, ordering parts, getting parts, and running around to different places to pickup parts. Actually I didn't mind it, but it was hot and dirty and my dad was my boss.
They had a computer system there to keep the inventory, running dBase III and hooked up to a NetWare network.
First day: No reports could be printed. Reloaded the various drivers, re-ran the reports.
Second day: They told me about a bug that caused the counts to be off so after checking things in, I had to manually add the right answers to the totals. Fixed the bug in dBase app.
Third day: The pull me to the front office, I'm working in the IT department and somebody's else kid is working in the parts shop.
