WSCC 1980 and 2006

Above should be a picture that cleverly alternates between two images, over twenty-five years
apart, of four stalwart computer professionals. If it doesn't appear then you can see them by
clicking on 1980 and 2006, while you consider upgrading your browser for the new millennium.

The individuals pictured are (l-r) Andy Penford, Andy Heather, Mike Branson and Ian Wegg.
Photographed in 1980 we formed one of three shifts operating the IBM System 370/155 whose
impressive light display and teletype console can be clearly seen.

Reunited for Andy Penford's birthday in May 2006, we were all still in the IT Industry, apart
from the IBM which had sadly become a wine cabinet.
