IBM, do they still exist?
I remember the year 2000. I was working as chief programmer for a over-funded company wanting to make a "social interactive multiplayer online travel-game in the browser (flash)". I'm not kidding, I was sitting in a chesterfield chair while programming and running the development. The times were crazy! I made 100k USD a year! And I teached myself PHP/MySQL/Flash while working for them! (Getting paid while going to school, ha ha). I actually managed to make the game in time, and even make it a lot better than expected. But here I go, ranting about the good ol' days. What happened during this period was this:
The management knew that people from India were skilled programmers (for a reasonably price). So they hired an Indian guy, 50 years old, had been working for IBM in the states, now living in Norway. They hired him as my assistant without even consulting me, ha ha
Crazy times....
I spent A LOT OF TIME trying to teach him Flash. After a while, I understood that this sweet, Indian guy could never contribute to the project. It was the day that I had to show him how to type the "$" symbol with a standard keyboard.
Long story short: Does IBM still exist?
