early USRobotics history

I think it was 1988. It was a summer job, initially working for Al Hernandez in the maintenance department, then transfered over to you towards the end. I remember Al had me cutting the mulberry trees on the north side the day of the interview, coming in completely stained a nice shade of purple. My second round at USR was much later - 1993 or so. Mostly it involved building up stuff for AOL, and later, AT&T Worldnet. By then, USR was not a super place to be, frankly. No cleaning of the junk room then - everything tended to get crushed and sold to a scrapper (who, incidently, made an enourmous amount of money on USR scraps. This is what happens when quality and production yeilds hit rock bottom). I think those manuals ended up at RICM at some point. Some of the HP3000 stuff as well. I hated that MANMAN.
