I ran the IBM S/370 Data Center at Nairobi airport from 1974 to 1977, a 24 hour operation, 2 mainframes running back-to-back. I had so many good Kenyan friends there as I maintained a local Kenyan staff only, no expats, as tape librarians, computer operators, programmers, systems analysts, and data entry staff. What a wonderful time at EAA. A lot of Tuskers ! My only regret was that it was all pre-internet. I left Kenya in 84, again 10 years pre-internet, meaning I lost contact will all my EAA friends. We developed the first online real-time reservations system called AIRS, a product that my whole department could be very very proud of. I miss them. I have not been able to find any of my buddies, men and women, from that time. Darn! -Ric
