I’d like to thank Leslie Miller for her great article about Q-Link which appeared in the February 10, 2000 issue of USA Today. It was a pleasure to be interviewed for the article. :-)

                   without distorting anything. Chris, if you see this and disagree,
                   please let me know. :-)

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!!
