Five Years at Microsofthttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/mswanson/archive/2005/05/31/423698.aspxIt’s hard to believe, but five years ago yesterday, I started my career with Microsoft as a consultant in the Great Lakes District. My first job was to help a large Midwest retailer move their rich-client functionality to a web-based intranet for allen-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)re: Five Years at Microsofthttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/mswanson/archive/2005/05/31/423698.aspx#424633Fri, 03 Jun 2005 05:03:18 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:424633Michael SwansonThanks for the kind wishes, everyone! I'm not sure why I wasn't notified via e-mail that there was feedback to this post, but I'm here now. Better late than never, I suppose. :) <br> <br>Mike Dunn: It's an awesome monitor, isn't it? I'm glad you like yours too. It'll definitely spoil you. <br> <br>Ah, Bill...the good old Killer Quake Patch...remember the guided missile? That was awesome! <br> <br>Jeff and Eric...I'm sorry to report that the M&amp;Ms disappeared today. My prediction of one week was overly optimistic. Watch for heavier people in building 18. :) <br> <br>Matt: Candy cigarettes! I'm going through withdrawal now that you've reminded me about them!<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=424633" width="1" height="1">re: Five Years at Microsofthttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/mswanson/archive/2005/05/31/423698.aspx#424281Thu, 02 Jun 2005 16:29:06 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:424281Matt PropstAt first thought i would have said candy cigarettes? but if M&amp;M's are the Microsoft thing, then i guess i'm all for it.
