A strange twist of fate hired us to architect an Information Highway exhibit and the rest is history. Somewhere in there we also wrote a hit baseball game for the PCjr and collaborated on numerous projects with composers Udo Kasemets and his friend and collegue John Cage. I get lost trying to keep track of all of it all. We are also keen to see software as only a component in an overall business ecology . Having a system that serves the customer while failing operations is just as bad as the other way around.
People enjoy a technology so much more when it fits .
En route to our goals, we've launched our community-based Connect Assist Network to aid small businesses and individuals to cross that first hurdle, and we have trained entrepreneurial student webdesign companies and open source consultants so they can help the smaller enterprise gain the advantage of our experience at a lower cost. We are also actively involved in Linux Education and promotion through speaking engagements, our work with the Canadian Linux Users Exchange , and our opensource documentation projects . We're touched and honoured that you should ask. More people should ask this question. TCI has supported the free exchange of software since long before the days when the only 'free software' programs were from the Free Software Foundation .
