@scottalanmiller Nice tidy desktop you are using there scott. What distro are you using?

CoffeeOS

It's Java based, a little old school, but helps you be productive.

scottalanmiller

@stuartjordan if you were being serious and not asking about the coffee... It's Lubuntu 21.04.

Not overly impressed with my current desk - but there is only so much I can do with it. Small sized desk and riser,.. in a shared office.

Two ViewSonic 27" monitors and

a Lenovo laptop.

Researching a Sit-Stand desk to replace the riser...

Didn't NTG start like in the 90's?

Yup. Why?

John was hired in 2000 when the company was young. Was just the three founders before him.

Our first office was Rochester, then Pittsburgh, then Ithaca.

That was all in about three years. Geneseo opened as our first big office in 2003.

Why? He wasn't hired then. He'd been around for years. Just because he's the first doesn't mean he was only there a week.

Correct. Owners aren't employees. And employees are often around for a really long time.

LOL - this whole thing ran afoul of human shortcuts... There was an assumption that this picture was from shortly after he was hired, though you said nothing of the sort. Calling out the fact that he was employee number 1 lead people to that conclusion, right or wrong, I'm willing to bet it would happen more often than not.

Yeah I agree with Scott here, an employee is someone you hired after the business is in place, not a founder etc.
