Lab Force was my own intro to PI & MV. 1981-83.
When I started the office was 2 adjacent suites in the Dallas Best
Western Hotel next to Love Field.
The room air conditioner just barely handled the Prime 400.
Jerry advertized for someone with lab experience & who knew Fortran.
My lab experience: No veins were poked. It involved searching for what
neutrinos are made of. (I failed to find the answer, in case you were
wondering. But "Nutrin-O" would be a good name for a dog food or
breakfast cereal.)
Fortran: After I'd been at Lab Force for a while, I asked about that.
Jerry said cuz it was sort of like Pick Basic. That's quite true.
Especially when compared to, say, driving forklifts.

This is sad news. I was in on the initial implementation of the Lab
Force LIS at Ochsner in New Orleans so many years ago. It was a very
fun, challenging project - and I'm proud to see that the product has
held out so well after all this time.
Glenn Luedke is a very good friend of mine, even though we haven't
worked together in years. he was my first boss/PM at Lab Force in 1985
(dating myself now). The last time we worked together was around 2000.
I hope he is doing well.

Just FYI,
Yesterday, Ochsner Health System (8 hospital plus ~40 clinics covering
from New Orleans to Baton Rouge, LA.) announced that the in-house
maintained Laboratory Information System will be replaced with SoftLab
from Soft Computer Corp (softcomputer.com). The in-house system was
originally a Pr1me then PI-Open, then Ardent to IBM to Rocket UniVerse
system. The source was licensed from LabForce some 20 years ago and
maintained and further enhanced in-house with things like automated
faxing, connections to PHP/Apache, MS-SQL& Sybase, some GUI (where it
made sense), etc.
Looks like I'll be moving into the Oracle on AIX world here shortly...
