Windows 95

I saw Lotus 123.

My father used to work on Lotus sheet in DOS, which is a green screen, Windows 95.

So I finished high school in 93.

Right, Windows 95 was the big change.

So yeah, I had no idea that financial modeling even existed at school.

I just knew that I like numbers.

you know,

bringing... certain let's just say well so i'll just i think the big the new shiny object or the new butterfly to be chased right is ai is going to solve all our problems oh we'll just we'll just give ai to these water utilities and it'll be good like yeah yeah water system didn't have if their plcs were on the internet and they haven't implemented mfa ai doesn't solve that problem AI doesn't solve the problem that I'm on a legacy OT network that's still running Windows 95.

AI doesn't solve that problem.

So I'm not downgrading the value of AI and helping do discovery on things, but it doesn't solve the fundamental technology debt and workforce capacity issue that we have.

Yeah, and I think a change from the world in the past, because I talked earlier about the age of package releases, is you used not to be able to get that telemetry.

Like if you were shipping, let's say, I'm old enough to remember Windows 95, it came as this immense 32-disk blob.

Where it's impossible to say, hey, is this feature better than this feature? You just couldn't know.

But now with the ability to break down changes into smaller and smaller bundles, you can actually have a really good gauge of, is this working? But you also want to be able to say, hey, all these changes together, is this having a holistic good effect?

You've got to keep things patched and up to date.

And you hear all these horror stories about, um again about naming any names you know there are there's these horror stories about government operations that still exist running on windows 95 for instance because nobody's updated them and they won't run on the newer version of the machines so they're having to keep these old antiquated machines running which are obviously no longer supported because because they've invested in the platform and actually moving off that platform is is a real real pain point um So, I mean, again, they're just a few examples of where it's gone wrong.

So it's a good point, but I mean,

you're making a very good counterpoint here because I mean, you mentioned essentially key man dependency, which is a big reason why to build is risky.

Well, actually, that itself is not necessarily a huge flaw, but it implies how old everything else is, too, which is probably the flaw.

That stuff is probably running like Windows 95.

Or I wonder if it's even running that.

Yeah.

And the reason he wanted me to is because they had just started selling – believe it or not, this was 94, 95, 6 maybe.

These were tablet computers, PC compatible Windows 95 tablet computers.

And they were like –

Cutting edge.

I landed in a job in Microsoft in Ireland and have grown and developed my career through basically four different evolutions now of technology.

Initially, the PC era, where I was lucky to be at the start of that with Microsoft and Windows 95, et cetera.

And then I went on to, obviously, we had internet and mobility.

Then we had cloud.

For someone who has only ever held Sol and hoped it goes up, what is the mental shift required when using Taller Finance?

When using Tolar Finance, I like to use an emotional phrase that, especially for millennials and so on who grew up with Windows 95 and 98, I like to call it, it's now safe to turn off your chart.

So emotions home because at the end of the whole period where you deployed a vault with Tolar, you will get a guaranteed yield.
