No one believes me when I tell them about the private companies I worked for that still use paper checks, typewritiers, dial-up computer connections, if they use computers at all!

Whether government or private sector, “state of the art” computer technology only seems to exist in people’s imaginations. The presence of Microsoft in the Puget Sound region is almost invisible to me.

Whatever Washington State government has planned, I wish them good luck.
