DO YOU WANT ME TO SEND YOU ONE OF MINE? neil - -----Original Message----- From: Rei Shinozuka [mailto:shino@panix.com] Sent: 14 August 2002 12:14 To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] Arizona..(where we live) i worked for motorola. they got a big plant in tempe. i was in the moribund micro computer division, which made 68K and 88K-based VME-board and turnkey UNIX systems. another job i had was working for a small reservations system company what used pyramid UNIX transaction processing systems; this was mainly interesting because our offices were right in the middle of the north pointe resort! i also worked for status computers as their UNIX guy, and frequented the many data centers in and around phoenix for citibank and amex. because of phoenix's sunny weather x 365, it hosts a large number of data centers, operations centers and disaster recovery centers. but data processing isn't really what i do, so i eventually took off for professional reasons. the people were just great; laid-back and friendly. they thought i was an amusing tight-assed new yorker. they were on to something... i wish i had taken more photographs when i lived there. i bought my first m6 back then, and i also had a hasselblad and a couple of nikons. but it tough to motivate myself to get out; it was just so damned hot ! :-) also i was living in an apartment at that time without a darkroom, and i find that having a darkroom always motivated me to shoot more. travelling north a couple of hours was always fun, sedona and oak creek canyon were much cooler and very beautiful. for whatever reason, i never made it down to tucson in the 2 years i lived in AZ. - -rei > From: "Steve Barbour" <kididdoc@cox.net> > > probably a lot more people here now..as development and growth has been extreme in that > period of time. what did you do here? thank you sir for your comments.
