I've met 3 people on that photograph and was taught to write OS/2 dvice drivers by one of 'em.

Gold star for the first one to post their names!

The most ironic thing about that photo is that they all look like Unix boffins!

[SupremeSpod]

I wonder how long before Threaded magically appears on that photograph...

at least if you are with geeks getting drunk you can argue anything

Except the lyrics to Python songs. Get them wrong and it all turns ugly.

and win too without having to punch

It's best not to punch geeks...they have strange bodies that crumble at the slightest touch and then expensive lawsuits follow...oh, and they have too much ear wax.

what do you prefer the hooligans getting drunk and a punch up afterwoords

Lord no. Yobbos need precious little excuse for a rumble as it is. Too little responsibility!

Yea right ! At this point I must reluctantly agree with MarillionFan (see 24 hours to live thread). Spod you are a complete ****** !

The miserable one back left with small eyes. Do you think he's the only contractor at the place?

[trajectory]

Yeah, that's fiddle. Still at it today on £20/hr whilst the rest of them are zillionaires.

I was taught C++ by a one fingered Albanian asylum-seeker. "Wage slave," he would say to me, for such is my name, "always remember that delegates are for meetings, not programming languages".

Chechi, for such was his name, gave me some fantastic advice: "wageslave, if you want to play in the mud of life, you can't go wrong with C and Essex birds".

OK, the OS/2 Device Driver king was none other than Gordon Letwin I met him on a course he was running for IBM in Boca Raton. Bill Gates & Paul Allen came to a meeting between IBM & Microsoft at Hursley Park.

Anyway, off to pack, flight to Amsterdam this afternoon to catch a connecting flight to Tel Aviv.

A software engineers lot is a happy lot! Ciao Losers!
