-: The software company was a co-op experience.
It was amazing.
I don't think they believed my in experience
at the software company.
In the first three weeks,
I was in the PC Magazine boat cruise around Manhattan,
we built a trade show, I was doing software,
I was doing shipping, I was answering phones.
I was alone for the first year.
But the first six months of co-op,
the report I wrote, they came down and visited
and wanted to see this company.
We winded up hiring more.
But the West Conn experience is great.
I lived in the dorms for a while.
That was a great experience living on campus.
I really enjoyed the community that's built.
A lotta the students were in my class together,
we're all still friends and keep up.
Several of them have become my business partners
over the years.
It was an amazing experience.
It's a great faculty.
The classes are small.
I had access to my professors,
and most of 'em were out of industry.
Okay, so computer science,
when that was forming in the '80s,
it was amazing to have people that were
in artificial intelligence or were book authors
or people that were really doing work
instead of just theory, so it was amazing.
