I worked for NetComm Australia when it was four of us in Ray's house in North Rocks. Ray and Luke where the ICL hardware engineers and Owen and I the Burroughs software guys (we did a version of Burroughs ALGOL on the Apple II to avoid both BASIC or Assembler).

I remember when Ray and Luke raised a big cheer one day when they got the first character to transfer between two Apple IIs with their networking card.

Apple Australia were enthusiastic. Ray and Luke's next project was to do a modem card. That actually became the basis of NetComm business.

Owen left, and he and I went on to do SNA for Burroughs machines at American Express. However, we did not get funding for that, and I returned to doing work for NetComm, but it was more Macintosh by then in MacApp. So I was one of the first people doing OO, at least in this country. Shame Apple wrecked MacApp with C++.
