I started my career in a vanpool sharing rides with engineers from the Rainbow
Project.  That project was a day late/dollar short but came out with some
great technology.  Everyone's heard of the IBM PC by now, but Rainbow is not a
name that anyone's ever heard of.  (Perhaps someone on /this/ list has. ;-)

For some stoopid reason, I'm still an engineer even though I learned Pieri's
words of wisdom at such a tender young age.  Marketeering trumps engineering
every time.
