Going through some boxes from the garage, I found this. You can tell from the PDA (personal digital assistant) in his hand, from the fax machine at his foot, the monitor and the camera that this is from 1995-2000.

Even earlier, back before 1985, I got a handbook of software developers for one of the major firms. It was either for IBM or Digital Equipment Corporation. (I was working part-time and enrolled at Lansing Community College, which was a DEC VAX environment.)
