I prefer Hard Copies of Manuals

[Song80s]

I memorize the manual

 

Thus it is stored permanently

 

When I was working for one of the great networking software companies there was this crazy, but great tech woman on our team. We had a new release coming and had been given the manual. When the woman was asked if she had digested the manual yet she said no. When asked why she said I need to save some space for some really nasty thoughts up there I can't waste it all on tech. That ended our meeting we were all laughing too hard.

 

That's funny. Working 70 hrs a week can make a person bent

 

I worked for sun micro

 

I worked for Sun for awhile the Tops division then when working at Banyan Networks (where the story above happened) Sun tried to get me back for their short lived Intel workstation. The ISP I worked for was all Sun gear so Sun loved us and would fly us up to see future and new products. I'm a big fan of SunOS and Sun workstations.

 

I remember banyan by name.

 

sun was quite the internet infrastructure darling for some years.

I caught some good years, 1996-2001. as we recall, the big server binge

dropped quickly, and sun could not find equivalent revenue.

 

I was out the door, late 2002, as they laid off 45,000 employees.

I bought a Montage 8 and it did not come with printed manuals.

 

Like others, I had my local Office Max print out copies and bind them.
