We went to a little mini-con last weekend (like, 28 people), got in late Thursday night and popped into the con suite. The only person there was the organizer as it was in her room. We started talking medical problems as she has a pretty serious one, but somewhere in the conversation she mentioned her days at Atari.
WHA....!
Later during a lull, I asked her what she did there. She was a property/facilities manager, not involved in the programming side at all. Still, she had some interesting stories. And we got to tell our side connecting with Atari: our nearest city, just down the mountain, Alamogordo, NM: was a burial site for the E.T.: The Extraterrestrial video game cartridge!
