Gulf War, dummies, Uncle Sugar... (WasRE: Convergent Technologies; Was RE: Old Computer Companies)

Oh. Wingwiper or army? I was in the Seabees but was just a groundpounder E3. I wouldn't be surprised if a fair chunk of the list was dumb enough at one time or other to sign up for Uncle Sugar. I'm a gulf-war vet. Spent about seven months in a nowhere place called Raas Al Mishab Saudi Arabia. Also some time in Kuwait during the ground phase of the war.

I never had access to the operating system. I was "strongly encouraged" to write applications to get a poor B26 network to talk to both Honeywell and Sperry mainframes. I was quite the unhappy camper at the time -- I could get it to talk to the Sperry, but nearly never to the Honeywell, even with Honeywell and Sperry emulator packages. (I was a 1Lt at the time, and they hadn't bothered to tell me they'd fired a GS-11 lifetime programmer for the same "failing...") Needless to say, I don't have any love lost for CT or C3 systems. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeffrey S.
