Back in the 20th Century, I was on a team for a major web browser. They were attempting to extend web browser technologies to crawl and cache web sites. The idea was to enable complex web experiences in a time when Internet service was analog telephone, 9600 baud.
We worked for months on that. At the office. In Silicon Valley. On $6000 Compaq computers.
When I returned home via my two-hour commute, I would try it: dial up and crawl, overnight, and surf around on the train to work the next day.
I was the only person on the team to actually do this.
I could understand that; after a 12-hour day of intense times at the office, the last thing most of us wanted was more of it, as soon as we got home.
A year later, I was at an ad agency. Big clients, national brands. Everyone there used the very latest Macintosh machines. Those could be like $8000 each. Beautiful work in Photoshop, then stuffed into a web browser.
They had a room with a few PCs, but nobody went in there.
