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.

Quote Jeff Bezos

[blockquote cite=”Jeff Bezos”]Ich arbeite auch manchmal in unseren Vertriebscentern mit. Ich machte ein Managementtraining namens Kaizen. Wir hatten einen japanischen Berater, der meinte, er sei kein Berater, sondern ein Beleidiger. Er hat uns ständig angeschrien. Eines Tages war ich dabei, den Boden in einem Vertriebs-center zu fegen, da schrie er: ‚Herr Bezos. Ich finde einen sauberen Boden großartig, aber warum kehren Sie, statt die Quelle des Schmutzes zu bekämpfen?‘ Und er meinte, es sei meine Aufgabe, die Antwort zu finden[/blockquote]
