Just curious.
Anybody on this list ever use ZOPL?
No, but I knew the founder of GEAC before he founded it.

I also knew Bob Zarnke, but not Hugh Williams (all in that photo). I was 
in charge of the IBM 1620 mentioned in the caption, but starting four 
years later.

I started at Geac in 1979 working in the R&D department which was an amazing learning experience.

Over the years I ended up working for a few of the people who where part of that Waterloo crowd.
