25 years serving eyelets
October 12, 2007
My team and I celebrated with style 25 years of work on the database. The cream of the information systems department gathered around a splendid cake in the shape of an 8086 processor.
Miss Luhunnestingware, the punch key entry supervisor, gave a touching speech. A stalwart since Highlet was computerised in 1982, she acknowledged the endurance of our human and systems resources.
The party continued until 18h15, when we each went our separate ways.

Intresting. Whats it alll about
I run a shoelace retipping company based in NJ and your products are the best!
Certainly the Best darn Eyelet I've ever come accross. No rough edges, ever! How can I be an employee?
by the way, how was the cake? what is it made of?
hey Great congrats for the silver jubilee!!! But you are still using 25yrs. old database. Come on it's time to change. We have made several new databases use them so that you can celebrate every year.
Hey guru jee,
you are wrong!! why should we change our database? we have been consistent for the last 25 years and will be consistent for another 25 years...
by the way, it's very difficult to change yaar... I'm very concerned with users who barely accepts changes...
The success of this product -- No change...
hey you monster r u rrying to scare anybody by using that name..........
what you had done in 25 yrs. we're able to achieve in a year. See how long YOU CAN LIVE AND ENJOY!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations on your 25years of successfully avoiding to apply any patches to your DB system. (I guess patching would have resulted into a memory overflow of your machines anyways.) So good luck for the next 25 year.
Well for a company that is so against change, why is your wesite so modern looking? Surely using nothing but pure html would be more your style? Not using these new fangled flash animations everywhere.... and a blog? How 21st century do you want to be? I think your whole company philosophy is flawed.
Hey, you might be just what I'm looking for. Del Boy has just got a few boxes of shoes just come off the boat. Only problem is the order was rushed (he said something about some guys in suits snooping around) so none of the shoes have eyelets. How quickly can you deliver a few thousand eyelets?
Let me know soon, yeah!

Any luck with those supplies? It's just that Boycie's gone and got all the shoes in Cassandra's bank nicked so that we could 'step' in and help sell some shoes. Most of the staff have bought the shoes without the eyelets. But some of them are not keen to buy them withouit eyelets.
Please supply them soon.
Knock knock.
Who's there?
If Highlet?
If Highlet who?
If Highlet you in, will you stop knocking?
Stick with the old jokes; don't change them; they always work :-)
Given that this company is meant to be stuck in the past, why the heck has it got a website?
