That's heartwarming, Steven. I remember the Office 97 events and stacks ready to buy at the local CompUSA in Sunnyvale. That could have been 2000, because I was still in Sunnyvale (and already retired), not returning to my Puget Sound birthplace until August 1999.
Focus on the people is not something outsiders get to learn about as corporations become seemingly monolithic citadels. I appreciate how much that mattered and matters. I never had management ambitions, always being an individual contributor and staff type, though I had a team of 12 at one point in my tenure at Sperry Univac on both sides of 1970.
I also appreciate the stamina it takes for an executive with so many plates spinning. I applaud your thriving at it.
