That's a bummer I didn't have links for Thomas way back then around 2004 or maybe it was early 2005. I didn't follow MESS and or computer emulation including DOSBox since I was following MAME much more at the time even though MESS was emulating the stuff MAME was emulating since MESS incorporated MAME code when official releases were out.

His [Thomas] interest was in computers rather than arcade games and his main interests would have been anything related to BBC products instead of Apple/IBM/Commodore products.
I wish I had an answer for him back then. The job was a temporary job for me and I didn't see anyone after job was completed. It used to be in a small industrial area, but had been rezoned and houses are now in place in what used to be a former industrial zone.

Kudos to your work over past few years. If former coworker [Thomas] caught your work and all this today's emulation progress was back then instead, you'd made his day.
