I joined 30 years ago and retired in 1996, but was under 50 and too young to stop working. So
I did startup internet stuff and ended-up at a company that got bought by IBM, so I retired from
them a couple of years ago as well ;-)
MS was a relatively small company back then and grew a lot while I was there. I basically took over
several new areas and built them up, for example what is now Developer Relations and then MSN.
I also am only QRV from Germany, but have only a 6 hour time difference.
