Heh. Somewhere, I have photos that Steve Feldman and I took while spelunking around under there trying to find fiber for the NANOG that was held there in 1997. We found a gas-chandelier maintenance department that people had just locked up and walked away from. Tools still spread out on workbenches, lamps half-rebuilt, everything. It was like electrification had hit one day during lunch-hour. -Bill
That is a very illustrative photo of the state of the internet plant, even today. I hope you find it! On Tue, Apr 4, 2023 at 8:51 AM Bill Woodcock <woody@pch.net> wrote:
