GREG (BLANE) HELPS A GATEWAY CUSTOMER

Greg, AKA Blane, mans the phones at Gateway.
I joined the cubicle set in 1997. Here I am trying to help a business customer of Gateway – the cow spotted computer people. Actually, in this picture, I am "Blane", not "Greg". In order to distinguish between various personnel, Gateway had many representatives adopt aliases. I chose Blane. Actually, I wanted "Blaze", but there was a sales rep that already had that name, so I "turned the z around" and came up with "Blane". During the time I spent at Gateway, I was called Blane more than Greg – in fact, Greg almost became foreign to me. After adopting "Blane", I found out that one of the characters in the movie "Pretty in Pink" was called Blane and used the same spelling. I'd like to say that is where I got the name, but that is not so. I am not there anymore – we all got outsourced!
