Beertema was then working as an administrator at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in Amsterdam. His first job was in 1965 at the Dutch National Aerospace Laboratory, where he first came into contact with a computer (an Elliott 803-B). In 1966 he joined the Center for Mathematics and Computer Science, where he worked until his retirement. On April 1, 1984, Beertema created and posted to the Kremvax Usenet site posing as Konstantin Chernenko.

The name Kremvax would subsequently be used by Vadim Antonov in 1991, when he became the first Moscovite to join usenet.
