"Were you near an airport?"   Yes, Rene Woc's Corporate Adager offices were
in Guatemala City, right on the approach path to the airport.  I, on the
other hand, was in charge of Adager's Lab in the peaceful town of Antigua
Guatemala.
 
Your comment made me realize that, to this day, we continue the same
arrangement: Rene's Corporate Adager offices are in town (he can hear
skiers making noise at Sun Valley's River Run approach).  I, on the other
hand, do my software development in a quiet farm at the base of Sun
Valley's Warm Springs approach.
 
Rene gets all the credit for Adager's support organization and
telecommunications infrastructure.  He and his outstanding crew are "the
persons on the other end of the line" that you (and I) like so much.
