Re: [Fun] Do You remember when....?

Ah, Prime was one that I was trying to bring to mind. They were in Maynard, weren't they?

I don't have specific recollections of people working for those companies, but I fell in with a seriously nerdy crowd in the mid-1980s for which MIT and the route 128 tech corridor were loci on some level.

Pr1me was scattered about in the MetroWest area, primarily (pun intended) in Framingham. They bought the Black Label brewery on Rt 9 at Speen Street in Framingham and re-purposed it into office space. There was a wonderful long atrium in the bottling plant.
DEC was HQ'ed in Maynard.
DG was in Westboro
Wang was in Lowell.
Apollo was somewhere on Rt 2?
I worked at 2 of these companies. Interviewed at 4 out of 5

On New Years day you watched the Cotton and Sugar Bowls, then later in the PM the Rose Bowl, and in the evening the Orange Bowl.

You'd watch the Celtics game on channel 4 with the volume turned off so you could listen to Johnny Most on AM 1030 radio.

When the words "North Pole" meant "Santa's home?"

Remember when Pedro Martinez worked for the Red Sox?

Martinez will serve the Red Sox as an assistant to general manager Ben Cherington, the team has announced.

Oh, OK.
