Subj: QLink stuff Date: 11/4/98 12:07:48 PM Pacific Standard Time From: Chris.Varner@falls-church.sterling.com (Chris Varner) Sender: cdvarn@fc.mystech.com To: uncleal2@aol.com
Hey there!
Your QLink stuff brought a smile to my face -- my first job out of college was working for Quantum, back in the "QLink was our only product" days. I worked for 'em from December '85 to January 91 -- the old days!
I was a programmer, originally hired to do the Amiga version... what Amiga version, you ask? The one that we decided not to do! Basically, they asked me if I wanted to stay on the "PC" side or work on the host side -- I picked the host side & did that forever... :)
Oh, and I *do* (still) have a Q coffee mug, along w/a gym bag, and one of the hideous dark blue "QuantumLink" tee shirts... I remember the first Caribe disk we got from Lucasfilm (back when 'Caribe' was still called Microcosm)... we all gathered around while Janet booted it up, walked out of her turf, said 'DO' on her mailbox, which caused the mailbox to start flying off the top of the screen... :)
Anyway, I had the 'belgar' and 'chris' accounts in the Q days. Do me a favor -- if you ever hear from 'Charisma'/'Baby Duck' or 'Ducky', let me know... can't seem to track them down anywhere! I thought I'd found an address for Becky, but the response I got back was weird -- whoever it was said he was looking for her too... Not sure what's up w/that.
Well, thanks for bringing back some good old days!!
