Trip down memory lane

>20 years ago I was running my BBS named Outland. This was my NFO file. BBS was running on Proboard (OS was MS Dos) on a 386 40MHZ and 102 MB hard drive (can’t remember the RAM size, believe it was 512kb or 2MB, which is a big difference). The modem was a 14.4kbit/s first till I upgraded to a 28.8kbit/s. The data center was my room and the rack housing the PC was a big cardboard under my desk.

The BBS time and the early years of the Internet were for me the most exciting time. Blast of fun on IRC and in the night playing Quake & Team Fortress with the friends.

Find your strength

Ask!

Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.

HBR:Germany’s Midsize Manufacturers Outperform Its Industrial Giants

Called the Mittelstand in German, this class of highly specialized, often family-owned businesses makes up the backbone of the national economy. Germany is ranked fourth in the global economy, but it’s home to only 28 companies in the Fortune 500. Great Britain and France each have more. But when it comes to little-known leaders in their market, Germany has 1,307 “hidden champions,” nine times as many as those two countries combined.
