I loved that place, I spent an entire day there from open til close when I was contemplating changing jobs and it was really helpful to put my work as a developer into historical perspective. Running Unix commands on a PDP-11 and watching the output slowly scroll up the screen was awesome, and seeing the 17 step process to boot the PDP-7 taped on as stickies and then playing chess against it was cool. I always hope some other Seattle billionaire takes over the reins but at this stage my best hope is that my options are worth something in a few years and I can do it myself.
