So much fun. What people may not remember was that there was a tremendous amount of competition back then. You had Borland and Lotus and many others, and the future wasn't set at all.
There were crazy entrants like Omnis 3/Quartz which had you select statements instead of typing them! So you would pick out "if/then" and then fill out the expression.
Anything you did provided incredible value, so that people were really happy. I was getting into VB right about that time (roughly) and you could build apps so quickly -- and not to replace a solution, but to create the first solution.
And to reiterate what someone else said, I had my own large office in a skyscraper with an incredible view and was treated (not just paid) like a top professional.
