What an interesting story and how great was it that you got introduced to SAP while still studying for your Bachelor's? Very cool! -td
I find it interesting that another ERP served as your starting point. You must have an interesting perspective! Thanks for participating! -td
Digital Equipment Corporation, *sigh*, good times. I cut my teeth on VAXen. I still miss those days. I've been pleased with how many folks with 10+ years have responded to this thread. It just goes to show you the passion that still runs deep in the SAP community. Love it! -td
I've been seeing a lot of B1 participation on various boards lately. Seems like SAP's mid market ERP must be going strong! -td
DEC - really... my first introduction to the world of computers was a PDP-1173. Then micro-VAX'es and VAX clusters. Wow.. what we could do in DCL !! LOL
Seemed my desk was always covered with a bunch of those big orange binders!
