I worked for this Design Consultancy as a junior for 2 years. Great, pressured environment. I looked after all the IT within this company, back then it was Mac OS 7.5.x to OS 8.1, we had Apple Workgroup Servers, ISDN and loads of Macs running 2D and 3D software. I also made tea and fixed the odd toilet seat. I learned a lot here, great times.
