[AccessD] OT-Old Times...BEU

Puts me in mind of the first AccessD conference - which happened before the
turn of the century and took place in my living room - at which Lembit
presented his idea for the back end updater.  He used transparencies and an
overhead projector for his presentation. :)

Subject: [AccessD] OT-Old Times...BEU

I'm not around the list much anymore, but was reminiscing yesterday...
I was cleaning out old MS Outlook folders I don't need anymore and came
across a folder for the BEU.

I have nearly every email we sent as a team and it was quite a trip going
thru them.  It was interesting to read how the ideas developed making the
BEU.  It was also eye opening to see how little I knew back then.  Reading
that yesterday I don't know how I was able to produce code that still works
today - except I had some great teammates.
And then to realize it's been 11 years and 9 months since we started that
work.  I was only 27 - my kids were just babies.

Anyhow, I'd like to mention a few people and just say how much I enjoyed
that experience and thank them for putting up with a pup that didn't know
what the hell he was doing...

I'm sure I've left out a few, but these three names are burned into my
memory forever.
It was fun reading those messages yesterday and working with you all those
years ago.

BTW, I have 2,840 total emails stored (and this doesn't count the online
meetings we held).
First email was Feb 8, 2001
Last one dated Dec 28, 2005
Version 1 went live on June 19, 2002
Version 2 was released on Oct 14, 2002.

And honestly I'm not sure where it is now.
Anyhow, it was a real pleasure.
