My dear is on a trip to China. This was the year when we were rich, the dinar was pegged to the german mark (at, IIRC, 7 YUD = 1 DEM), and there were small private businesses sprouting everywhere. We at DBA had all the business we ever wanted, it was more of a problem to balance the backlog of work to do for all those customers. And I think this trip was a kind of a promotional price, so we could more than afford it.
I took a yugo from the office and just drove her to the airport. I think one of the girls kept me company. I probably already installed a radio into it, and fried one channel. yugo came with sound pre-wired but not installed, and no instruction on which i wires are for what, so what I thought was one channel was actually the whole rear (!). Given the number of kilometers we did then, music saved our minds.
About this time, KuPro aka skrobara became our customer. They had some girl, allegedly a programmer, fresh from petefi, who was all cute (in a dark way, slightly wild - not a sugarcoated blink blink doll) and neat... but she caused a lot of trouble. She'd play with the tables, trying to fix things, but she would overwrite the indexes with her own - didn't know enough to build hers in different files - and, oh boy, the mess she made of the directories... There were all kinds of junk in there. I felt as if a girlfriend comes to visit a stuudent boyfriend, sees his room a huge mess, and starts putting it in order right away. Then I realized how it's the same just opposite - my desk may be a mess, but my disks are neat. Some people do it opposite.
She didn't stay there long, perhaps a couple of years, if that. For a while they had no IT guy, unless we count M.M. who later became my dealer for music and games on CDs (years later - the CDs weren't there yet for another four years). Then Staša came to be the IT guy.
We had some serious trouble with the network there, because it would break for no obvious reason. Then after a while we caught the less than obvious - the network cable, the coaxial with BNC plugs, was laid too close to the thick power cables. Now when some of the huge electromotors downstairs would get started, these would pull lots of power and would emit some nasty EM waves. We were actually lucky that the induction didn't fry any cards. Once we moved the cables a couple of meters away, trouble stopped.
