Official Antaire Quotes

Back in 1989, a business partner and I started a software company. It was pretty much a disaster although we wrote some pretty cool stuff along the way. We made all of the classic mistakes, didn't get specs in writing, didn't keep good notes, etc., etc.. It ended with backstabbing and communication failures. But it was fun and it was a great learning experience.

Here are some of the funnier things that we said along the way. Most are inside jokes and probably won't make any sense to you the reader.
