This takes me back to my days in college. I studied Electrical Engineering in Dublin, and in 1983, we organised a tour of the facility. My hazy memories of it were it being just another factory. The real purpose of the trip to Cork was much more alcohol related.


I was in Cork with the wife on a personal vacation but got to pop up to the place because I was working with a few engineers from Apple, Cork at the time.

Ha ha, the thing that sticks with me though was that when I got up there, there was an encampment of "gypsies" that were on the next hill over. Or at least when I asked my host I was told that that was what they were.


Well you can't say Ireland+80s+student without having alcohol as a factor! I was exactly 10 years after you, and nothing changed, except the music.
