Oh my gosh, Steve, I need to be whipped, Yes, MKS! Though I could have
sworn you were doing some work with WLU at the time?
Yup again, Waitronics, corner of King/University. Yeah, the days when
WYSIWYG was coming into it's own. As the cobwebs clear, I think I recall
poetry slams and the like? A Diana Groffen(she and I worked at Waitronics)
was part of it? Mebbe I am thinking of some other part of my past.

As I think back, I am so grateful for being in the orbit of some many
talented people in a great many startups back in those days.
Ditto the profs and IT folks from UW, Laurier.

Lord, I miss those simpler days of text-based realities and 3/$1 hots dogs
at that 7/11  next door to my old office:-)
