Janez Škrubej ustanovi s skupino sošolcev elektrotehnikov podjetje. Ustanovi ga v kleti, piše se leto 1978. Podjetje Iskra Delta (v nadaljevanju ID) se bliskovito uveljavi, predvsem na vzhodnem trgu. Iskra Delta postaja hitro samozadostna, sami izdelujejo računalnike in jih nadgrajujejo, poslužuje se le ameriških čipov, ki zaradi takratnega embarga ne morejo na vzhodni trg. Delta jih lahko edina, z ameriškim “end use” certifikatom pošilja na vzhod, po Kitajski, Indiji in SZ. Ko postane tehnologija ID preveč neodvisna in kakovostna in v trenutku, ko ID ne le konkurira ampak na nekaterih področjih celo prekaša ameriške proizvajalce, se za njo začne zanimati CIA, z namenom, da tehnologija ne bi prišla v roke sovražniku. Na drugi strani pa vidi KGB v Iskri Delti zadnjo možnost, da bi nadoknadila tehnološki zaostanek. Iskri Delti se po robu postavi tudi domača oblast, predvsem zaradi kratkovidnosti, podkupljivosti in “slovenske” zavisti.

SYNOPSYS:
It’s 1978, a group of electrical engineering, classmates, established an IT company “Iskra Delta computers” in Ljubljana, Slovenia. In the USA, this was the time of Bill Gates, Gary Kildall, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. Iskra Delta saw a meteoric rise and constructed the first and world’s largest computer network in China, in 1985. When the company’s technology became too powerful and too big, it attracted the attention of the CIA, which wanted to prevent the enemy from accessing it. On the other side of the front, the KGB saw Iskra Delta Computers as a final opportunity to make up for Soviet IT shortcomings. The company was also in trouble with the Yugoslav secret police UDBA and the local authorities due to their shortsightedness, corruption, and proverbial Slovene jealousy.
On top of it all, Yugoslavia was facing a bloody breakup.
Based on the book "Cold War for Information Technology" by Janez Škrube.
