Pioneer in agro-computing... with the punched card. ISAGRI was created in 1983 by Jean-Marie Savalle, current CEO, and a few teachers of the Agricultural Engineer School of Beauvais. His goal: develop management techniques in agriculture thanks to computer. With a single computer for 25 teachers and 400 students, a 15m² office and a single phone line for the whole school, we were far from what ISAGRI became.

You need a laugh
about doctors, science and messaging! This story was told by a loving
wife...
At a church service, the pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would
like to express praise for answered prayers.
Suzie Smith stood and walked to the podium. She said, "I have a praise.
Two months ago, my husband, Tom, had a terrible bicycle wreck and his
scrotum was completely crushed. The pain was excruciating and the doctors
didn't know if they could help him." You could hear a muffled gasp
from the men in the congregation as they imagined the pain that poor Tom
must have experienced. "Tom was unable to hold me or the children,"
she went on, "and every move caused him terrible pain.
" We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation, and it
turned out they were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Tom's
scrotum, and wrap wire around it to hold it in place."
Again, the men in the congregation cringed and squirmed uncomfortably
as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Tom.
"Now," she announced in a quivering voice, "thank the Lord,
Tom is out of the hospital and the doctors say that with time, his scrotum
should recover completely."
All the men sighed with unified relief. The pastor rose and tentatively
asked if anyone else had something to say.
A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium.
He said, "I'm Tom Smith." The entire congregation held its breath.
I just want to tell my wife the word is "sternum."
