@stefanoStefano Marinelli It was late 1991, on a Friday. I was still in the office late afternoon when two men came in and asked for my boss. I said that he had already left and asked if I could be of help.

The two men told me that they were from a children's hospital in Hamburg and came here to buy NeXT computers for the hospital (well, consider buying), and wanted to check these out. At that time, we were one of the very few NeXT resellers, and the only distributor.

Anyhow, I asked them to explain their needs and such (so that I could present the machines better), but then realized that we couldn't meet most of their needs in the hospital. They both were big fans of NeXT, and they were really into it, but still, I couldn't sell them something that's make them unhappy.

Long story short, I suggested them not to buy NeXT computers for the hospital because most of what they needed could be done with a PC with DOS and, and the rest was nor doable on NeXT computers either.

They left, slightly on the down note.

The week after they called my boss, told him that originally they were thinking of buying some 15 (or so) NeXTstations for the hospital, ordered two(!) NeXTcubes, one each, privately, and told my boss to give me a raise or a bonus because I consulted them so honestly.

I guess I am really a bad sales person because I always tried to find what is best for the customer, not necessarily what makes most money for me (my company). I assume this is one reason why I am still not a billionaire 😂😂
