- AlbertCory 4y agoThanks! 3+Mail is in the second book: https://www.albertcory.io/the-big-bucks https://www.albertcory.io/the-big-bucks Actual events like me pulling apart the ThinNet Ethernet cable and taking down the entire company for a few seconds (no one noticed), The Lisa adopting Hungarian notation because of the Simonyi influence (in one part of the code). DataPoint having a terrific LAN before anyone else, and going nowhere with it. 3Com buying Bridge, a leader in routers, and running it into the ground, meanwhile ignoring Cisco. 3Com'ers spending all day arguing about a post on WantAds, because they were so desperate for a social network.
- Aloha 4y agoYeah, I read about the Datapoint thing in the book about Datapoint, I was surprised, it was the parallel universe that I knew nothing about.
- AlbertCory 4y agoI thought I was the only person who read that :)
- Aloha 4y agoI suspect we are one of either tens or hundreds on here who have read it ;-)
