bil_sbt.jpg (70449 bytes) Retrospectively, I think we really installed the first Win95 network in Fiji.
vinco_iso.jpg (49539 bytes) It was indeed a challenge to have been part in this project.
ftib1.jpg (54124 bytes)ftib2.jpg (57454 bytes) Unfortunately the company never really took off the ground - due to lack of funds.
police_mua.jpg (40721 bytes) My Rotuman friend Mua is now a full-time pastor. God bless you!
minfin.jpg (36454 bytes) On this day the power went off in Lautoka. It took us one hour to hunt around for a generator. All presenters were given a full ceremonial Fijian farewell which I have never experienced before.
delta.jpg (58350 bytes) 10 years later I still think it is one of the best platform for maintaining legacy applications.
Just compare this official 'certificate of service' with the reference below. Excuse me, but this is the lousiest paper I have ever seen after 2 years of service. I mean there is not even a category called 'poor'! Not sure if they still issue this paper today. But at that time it really showed the status of the Public Service Commission in Fiji. And I think that Poseci Bune was the Permanent Secretary at PSC at that time. What a shame!
edp_john.jpg (82568 bytes)edp_john1.jpg (13877 bytes) One month after I arrived in Fiji, the second military coup took place. Since E.D.P. Services was doing the payroll for the army, our building was probably one of the most protected ones for the next two years. The job itself was most challenging until then - but also the most rewarding.
edp_psc1.jpg (78676 bytes) In 1989 the first duplex laser printer in the government was installed in my office. No wonder that our PC team also helped with the printing/editing of Fiji's new 1990 constitution.
edp_fsm.jpg (120151 bytes) The caption of my boss, John Shannon, reads "I wish all the mail was like this. Thanks to those involved". It was indeed such that my PC team had an excellent reputation - even the private sector and statutory body organisations wanted our products and services.
edp_fntc.jpg (61344 bytes) 1989 was probably the first time that it became feasible for small hotels and resort owners to evaluate PC-based front-office reservation software. Until then only the large hotels had computerised operations (mainly on "old" IBM S/36)
