As a follow-up to Gary's post last week, I wanted to briefly introduce myself as I will be another of the regular contributors to the Eclipse blog. Although I wasn't present at the birth of Eclipse I have now been with the company for over ten years! During this time, I have been fortunate enough to have worked on many complex, challenging and ultimately rewarding projects with our customers in the UK, but mainly overseas, having being based in Europe for a large proportion of my time with the company.

How time flies! It is hard for me to believe, but Eclipse is now in its 25th year of trading. As a result, we feel that the time is now right to post our first blog!

It seems an age ago, since the opening of our first offices in Tokyo and London back in 1987. Armed with a multi-lingual NEC PC-9800, an IBM PC XT (10mb hard disk and 640kb ram costing around £5k each!) a partnership agreement to sell the SunSystems accounting software and a limited overdraft facility, we started trading.
