      Oh man do I remember that. Kids today will never understand what bizarre panic was going on that year.

      but oh, the pay raises in IT!

        Sigh.... I had been married for 6 years by then with a 3 year old.

        Who come to think of it is old enough to post here 😞

              I was working at Flexsteel Industries at the time. As a side job, I had to come in and do some bios upgrades on older 286's at one place. (The kind where you have to pry the eeprom chip out and replace it.

                      I was working at West Teleservices (Now West Corp). Recovering from the nothing that was Y2K because we were well prepared. 🙂

                            I was working for AT&T SBC ASI as Tier 1 DSL installation support. Average queue times were about 20 minutes. Fun people to talk to.

                            Since we are pulliing out the wayback machine, also I was running this..

                                Started cabling things when i started working for Time Warner and i got my first computer and internet. I didnt go to school for IT for a few more years but i knew that was my path. Pulling cables is still my favorite thing to do. Love climbing around in a drop ceiling or driving a lift around a retail store or cubicle farm.
