It may not be lounge-safe, but if my employer gets me a laptop I'll program while at a "gentlemen's club".

I wonder if any company out there would be accomodating enough to provide a "gentleman's club" work environment for one of the world's best programmers? Just imagine that job interview, "Well, if I'm going to work here, I demand to be surrounded by hot babes who serve me keyboards and martinis!" :-D

You mean the computer, or the copy of Byte ? My computer doesn't look like that, and Nish is right, the chick in the top left would have to go. Apart from that, I'm looking for the hidden camera, because that's what it looks like here....

The girl on the top left looks like a guy as Nish said.

Yes, that has been established. If you shift you attention away from that person, the whole situation is much more appealing. ;)

Ya, 'cos the girls at those places really go for nerds in bowties reading Byte magazine :rolleyes: Anyway, wasn't Marc Clifton doing a lot of work for clubs in this sector of the entertainment industry? :-) There was a job going when I was living in Thailand a while back, teaching English to the dancers at one of the gogo bars in Pattaya. I believe there was quite a lot of interest in it :laugh:

Hmm: is the girl on the right Emma Samms[^]? She of Dynasty amongst others? Certainly does look like her.

Well, I guess the best thing to do is to move the girl from the top left to the computer and the girl at the computer in the top left corner :) Doesn't that feel like better company _and_ better code? I'm also thinking that the guy is working in marketing.

Brady Kelly

No, it's not just you.

Paul Watson

I dunno mate. That computer looks a bit slow and I doubt that keyboard is even plugged in (not exactly wireless I bet.) ;)

Well the picture is really old. Maybe that's what was what "hot" was back then. If she just smiled, she'd be much better.

Where did you get that old picture of me? We've improved things a lot around here since then.:laugh:

Coool :jig: I started programming on stuff that looked just like that, and the DP girls all used to wear evening gowns in them days too :cool:

That brings back memories... it's not a computer at all. It's a mainframe terminal. It's a Hazeltine Model 1510 (maybe a 1520 - hard to tell). My Dad helped design the damn thing about 35 years ago.
