Windows 3.0 was so much better than the previous version... and 3.1 was ever better.

I've never worked in an ISO 9000 house, but the place I was working at back in '96 was just starting to work on qualifying for it (they were a government contractor) at the time I left them... the preliminary steps struck me as being very unnecessary, especially in a small company (which it was).

I once interviewed at a nuclear plant in Ohio... everyone had to wear dosimeter badges (even me, as a visitor). One of the big questions at the interview was whether I had any moral objection to working at a plant that helped produce nuclear weapons. I didn't, but I wound up not taking the job anyway. I'd read the book "Nerves" by Lester del Rey at an early age (it's about an accidental meltdown at a nuclear plant.)

You're right.... ISO, not IPO.... my memory of the experience is (thankfully) foggy. thanks for reminding me ;~D

The only nuclear plant I ever worked in was one that never became operational..., in fact, I was working for the law firm that was suing WPPS over it. It was never finished. (our Nuclear power authority had at that time the unfortunate acronym "whoops!" ;~D)
