That's pretty cool.

Lots of vehicles parked around there... I wonder if NVidia took over the building and uses it, or if they sold it to another company?

Yeah, it would definately be expensive. I say we start a fundraiser! We can all sell cookies door to door untill we get enough money for everyone! :D

still the 3dfx Palace is missing lot's of thing the 3dfx people and that big Logo on it's top port side, the 3 flags in front of the 3dfx palace as well.

I wonder if there are any 3dfx things still laying around :)

I'm sure they had something going on in San Jose as well untill the very end, because otherwise Hank would have had to go by airplane to work every morning. ;)
