I did some tech consulting and dev work for them around the peak of the craze. I never met Ty personally, but was in their office multiple times. One Christmas (98?) everyone got a bonus of their salary, IIRC. The money was just... pouring in at that point. I'm sure it's died down since then, but the stories were... nuts.

I think we worked at the same place? Office in the suburbs moved to downtown near the train station, foozball table in the kitchen and green carpets? Coldfusion app running on Solaris gear.

I seem to remember the office I visited was in Rosemont...?

Rolling Meadows perhaps? I think the Ty craze was wrapping up when the dev shop moved downtown (right before the dot com bust).
