What ever happened to Tandem and NonStop OS 1987

You were taught????!!!! And, since it was 7th grade, you couldn't have asked why without getting labelled as a trouble maker.

I never did. I watched my college roommate do it and could never figure out the advantage (she also marked just about every line). Besides that, those markers were expensive and I was on a $2-month budget.

I had a new boss like that. Instead of spending my time working on the project, I had to set in his office for hours explaining the project. What I did was read my specs to him which he refused to read. He was "making sure" that I understood what I was doing. When he got promoted, he fired me and I moved from engineering to maintenance. After I recovered from the shame, I used this opportunity to start preparing for the time when the two groups would merge and got maintainers back to talking to developers. The only difference they saw after the reorg was change of cost center numbers on their paychecks.
