I started here as a truck driver 1 week after my high school
graduation.  I after 1 year of college at the Purdue campus here in Ft
Wayne, the company installed a S/3 and I was put 'in charge'.  I'm still
here after 26 years through a S/34, S/36, and 3 AS/400s (so far).  If
you don't think I get weird looks from other IT folks when I tell them
how long I've been here, guess again. <vbg>
