One year ago today, the six of us here at HTC converged on an empty office space for our first day of work at HTC. It was a very exciting time for all of us. A year later, things have gone pretty much as we envisioned them. We all love the work that we do, and the game is progressing well. Thanks to everyone for the wonderful first year, the second one will be even better.

I guess I am pretty fortunate. Until a friend turned me on to Aces High, I had no flight sim experience. I am understating it when I say that if I had to start somewhere, starting at the top is the best place to start! Keep up the good work HTC. Looking at the product at the end of its first year, I can't even imagine where we'll be next year, other than even more deeply entrenched in my new-found addiction. WTG HTC, yer all simply Maaaaahvelous!!

COngrat TO HTC staff. Great Job. I am glad I left AW along with few of my squadmates. Although I hoping to get rest of 30 or 40 of the squad members in AW3 to join us in AH. At time I like to own some of the stock when they move here (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Keep up the good work. And IMOL can Kiss my hairy prettythang.

Am amazed at what can be done in just one year!!!! HTC has set the standard for on-line flight sims!! I have a feeling if things keep going as they have, we will all look back at the current release as primitive. Your product is changing at a fast pace!!! The bar for the others will soon be out of reach!! I hope you all at HTC can keep the "fire in the belly". We all
don't want to see ya get burned out though!!

Congrats on the success in your first year, its been amazing the progress you guys have made.
Two questions:
1) Pyro, did your desk really get that messy in just one years time? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
2) Did you guys really form this company just so you could hang around with Ronni and Yankee all day long? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Best Wishes for a long and successful future with HiTech Creations.

---------------------------------------------
1. Pyro's desk is a demilitarized zone for papers, styrofoam cups of moldy coffee, pepsi cans, and books everywhere. The mess somehow made it over to my desk too. I think it's alive.
2. They wanted us to form the company, so they could hang around with us studs. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Supe,
In regards to Question/Answer 2.:
Would that be as in a wall "stud", where it is flexible, flat, with slivers, gets nailed alot and is hidden behind dry wall due to its unflavorful appearence? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

To me messy is defined as: "A way of arranging all important items within arms reach of your chair." As such I would not call Pyro's desk "messy", rather I would call it "arranged for maximum efficiency." (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
