26 years ago today was my first day as a student intern in the Sun Desktop Software Release Engineering team (then called "Power Client Software" to distinguish it from the Thin Client orgs handling Java Stations and Sun Rays).
I became a full-time employee 6 months later, after graduating at the end of summer semester.
6 months after that, aka 25 years ago now, I moved from the release engineering team into the X11 development team.
