Dead Space is now my Personal HiSoftware Museum

This weekend I was preparing the third floor of my house with what I needed for taking classes at Embry-Riddle (ERAU.edu) this term. Well, I am one of those people that collects stuff and the third floor is a collection point. In the very beginning , HiSoftware had one employee, me and from 1996-98 I had collected much stuff!

The company started in what was essentially an unfinished Attic, the attic having a dead space of about three feet along the wall (because of the roof) does waste much space. So, as I was setting up the space it seemed a shame to waste the three fet of space. Thus, I had a dilemma, what to do with the dead space?

As you can imagine I had much stuff from the founding of Hiawatha Island Software Company (HiSoftware). You can download my PDF Book, My thoughts on the founding of HiSoftware online and free and no registration of course!

I gathered together the stuff:

  • My desk chair worn and junk - trivia: I wrote the first TagGen In that chair and later the award winning Hi-Caption and AccVerify.
  • My First Stock Certificate
  • Box Sets of the WebSite Promotion Suite and Hi-Traffic Suite
  • TagGen T-SHIRT
  • Original Delphi Build Environment
  • ETC...

I set up an old Monitor to play the da Vinci Award video

So now, in the dead space, is the HiSoftware Museum, dedicated to those that made HiSoftware special; note- none of the original engineering, qa and board of director members are left at HiSoftware.

Cheers,

Rob
