I can't believe it's been just over 10 years since Swan Technologies closed down. Best place I ever worked, and one of the few places where I felt like family. When we closed down it was a kick in the stomach for all of us.
On our last day at work, all sitting on the floor because our cubes and seats were taken away and sold, my manager pulled out the bottle of Jack Daniels he bought when he was hired, and passed it around to drink. One of the guys who wasn't very reliable left to get ice - he never came back. We symbolically fired him. There were a lot of tears that day. I still have my badge somewhere.
I wonder whatever happened to everyone. At least there's archive.org to relive that wonderful time:

Here's the computer I had from 1997 to 2002 - cost me all of $400 to build myself:

Um, I hope that displays right, I didn't expect it to actually paste the images and HTML right into the buffer....
