Top reasons to pine for the Salad Days of Alfred at
Transarc:
We didn't need no stinkin' badges.
We had company meetings every now and then to find
out what the heck everyone else was doing.
We were empowered to use toasters.
New hires could be strung out on heroin and
we didn't care, as long as they could hack the kernel.
The Transarc firewall only pointed one way.
We had an annual Spring Party to see each other get tanked.
Business ethics were taken as intuitive, not
something you had to sign for.
Didn't need an advanced degree in Math to figure out
how many vacation days you had that year.
