RE: Finally getting around to introducing myself
Hi, Phil. In my other company, SynaptiCAD, we used some software I believe your company did support and maintenance work for (TAO). Welcome to Steemit!

That's cool. Did you work with TAO? Do you remember when that was? Believe it or not, but TAO is still an active product. Not as active as a decade ago, but it just keeps on kicking.
Yes, it's still included in our product offerings today. It was quite a while back that we initially added it to our tools, so not sure when we first integrated it. We use it as a way for 3rd party tools to control our software, and we also use it for communication between our GUI and our SystemVerilog simulator.
I've still got the TAO books OCI put out on my book shelf (printed books on computer topics, now that is something that seems mostly obsolete now, but maybe that's just because my vision isn't what it used to be).
What is the version number on your TAO books? I've contributed a substantial chunk of the text in the books. These days the TAO books are available as $20 ebooks. Times change. ;-)
v1.2.a, copyright 2002. I think we had been working with TAO about a year at least before we got the books, but my memory is a bit blurred on that point now. I remember one of the guys here was excited to see an actual book on it :-)
