Mikro-Gen
Not to sound dismissive but I've gone backwards and forwards several times on whether to cover Mikro-Gen. They are an old company and similar in many ways to others I've already written about; like Bug-Byte, Quicksilva, dk'tronics,Automata, Hewson Consultants, Artic, J.K. Greye and so on, and so on. I have two main questions. One, what can I say that makes this article different? Two, is it wise to reveal these doubts in the introduction when I should be using it to lure people in?

Intelligent Software
Excelsior! I've finally done it! A post that combines my twin obsessions of old software house offices and Blake's 7. This is clearly the apogee of this blog. Even more exciting than that time I got emails from Charles Cecil and Richard Turner about Artic. It can only be downhill from here.
