1998: Apple II starts today, in a training class

“Two” is a great title and fitting. No one really recalls the Apple I but a few still exist. Now the Apple II went on to be foundation of the “little” computer company that could and continues to irritate the Windows and Linux faithful.

I think there are only three others who remain from my original training class which is unusual for Apple. One is more involved with the retail division and another went to operations (similar to IT). When I met the majority of them, I felt they were pretty sharp people and quite personable. As always, there was one guy who was a nuisance and thankfully, it wasn’t me this time. Seriously though, I don’t know why he chose to work at Apple with all his PC-Windows knowledge. It didn’t help his case when he’d bash the product in front of the instructors. Matters worked themselves out eventually.

The one remaining guy from that training class who didn’t transfer is part of a different faction of my team. I mentioned this anniversary to him the other day. John remembered it pretty readily too! We need to go have a celebratory lunch for being so tenacious.
