Greatest Software, System R 4273

i've commented before that we when we were asked to work with a small client-server startup that wanted to do payments on their server

and ran into two of the people in charge of something the startup called the commerce server ... had been in the following meeting previously mentioned here

... and that the results has since been come to be known as e-commerce.

i've also commented in the past that one of the other people in the same meeting

had commented that he had been the primary catcher in STL for technology transfer of sql-ds from endicott to stl for (mainframe) DB2.

somewhat unrelated story is that one of the main people that had been in Endicott for the technology transfer of system-r from sjr to endicott for sql-ds ... had reached some corporate anniversity (35?) a few years ago ... and his management wanted some stuff from his career. for my contribution i dug up a dozen or so emails (from some archive) that were exchanged with him concerning the sjr to endicott system-r technology transfer activity (for sql-ds)

and as before ... misc. system-r related postings:
