2004 was much further back than I'm remembering it. The most amazing part is that everything there has been REPLACED, not simply upgraded. If I were to tell you that in 7 years the monitors were slimmer, the servers fit x1000 the capacity in 1/2 the space, and the printers were all-in-one, you'd be impressed. If I told you that you could throw out your server and printer, and run everything entirely off of a laptop and the internet, you'd wonder how that's physically possible. It's amazing to imagine where we'll be even 5 years from today.
Oh, its not all that long ago. There were plenty of flat panels in 2004, lots of all-in-one printers, and "cloud computing" had already been around for several years in the form of 'Akamai Edge Computing'.
That.... is beautiful. Especially the exit 15 months later.
2011 - 1 macbook pro * n-employees. Maybe some nice flat-panels if you're into that.

Nowadays, I can't imagine a startup not running on AWS/GAE/etc.
Wonderfully nostalgic, kinda like old web pages from the mid-1990s.
How fast can technology go...
Yep, CRT monitors where something special - LCD's just doesn't glow like that...
