I worked for PacBell from 1980 to 1991. Scott Adams also worked for the company. His cartoons often lampooned people inside the company. In time, his value as a cartoonist exceeded his value as a company employee. It was good fun for a while. We crossed paths at UseNIX one afternoon. A bunch of young ladies who were "groupies" stopped to bow effusively while chanting "we're not worthy".

interesting. I like Dilbert and often wondered if it was based on an actual place.

Funny he stayed on for a bit while doing Dilbert.

Is this the same Scott Adams that wrote the ‘Adventure’ type games for the old TI 99-4/A computer? You plugged in a specific cartridge for each particular game. You typed in directions like ‘go north’, or ‘pick up book’. I remember one was on a tropical island and you had to find the treasure.

There were several big companies on Camino Ramon that were the source of material for Adams. They were all implementing the same business fads at the same time. Pacific Bell was probably the worst at it.
