>Actually, the adventure games written while I was there were in SCI, a way cool proprietary OOP language. We were using SCI while every other company was just using C. So anyone with a good grasp of programming fundamentals could get a job at Sierra (if they wanted to move out here), because there were hardly any OOP programmers around at that time, anyway.

I could've been into OOP if I wasn't a stupid kid at the time. I was planning on learning it with Turbo Pascal, but my boyfriend of the time started dabling in it and he didn't want me learning it so he could be better than me at programming. It seemed so sensible back then... :)

>I was a "systems technologist" at Sierra between 1990-1995. If you played any Sierra games during that time, my name was probably in the credits. :)

Probably. It would have been around '89-'93 that I played them.

>Let's see. Sierra got bought up by CUC, which merged with someone else to become Cendant. Financial misdealings were discovered and the stock dropped from 40 to 9 (luckily my holdings are basically only souvenirs:). Sierra changed its name to Yosemite Entertainment, and the latest is that they're on the block for a buyer.

Yes, this is interesting. Although quite off the subject of VFP, so maybe we shouldn't keep going...
