Interesting facts

• At first, AOZT Ajax did not feel very comfortable in the market. The St. Petersburg company, which supplied computers to the market, had to compete with a large number of Moscow firms. So the management decided to provide its organization with additional earnings in order to survive periods of calm in the market. For example, operations with plastic can covers (home canning) brought Ajax good profits. Efim Marimont bought them in bulk at the factory and sold them... through the exchange.
• Marimont is calm about computer games, and he almost does not play. In an interview, he said that he had been ill with this "disease" at the very beginning of computerization, when he played the good old Tetris on EU cars. But he admits that he sometimes likes to be distracted by "putting the figures in a glass."
