Hank what seemed odd to me is that you guys dont have a bigger sign than you do, only reason i looked big is sign was small lol

Lol ty Gary,

yes i thought the sign was a wee bit small, Q3d is huge to me so i was expecting a big sign. Grin

All phot's were thru windows, thought my girlfriend did a decent job considering the glare from sun, as a matter of fact she made me be her glare blocker Wink

Hmm, i was at Q3D on a Saturday too, missed my Chance to meet Hank. Wink

Well, but i think the 3dfx building in Fortran Drive should still stand? At least it did so last year, when i was there. I dug up the pics, but please be patient, they will not load very fast.

This was 2006 at 4435 Fortran Drive, not all too far from Quantum3D (easily reached by car).

Here we go:

The building from a distance:

3dfx' old parking lot:

The sign and our rented cadillac in which we drove through California, Arizona and Nevada:
...

Me standing by the sign:

The sign at close range:

The building at close range (it was locked, so we couldn't get in):

well, the building still looks the same, there's a church sign now, i just asked my girlfriend where the church sign was cause i couldnt remember if it was there or on the building and she says that was where the church sign was as she remembers it, gosh it would be real nice if i was wrong . . . . . . . Hank . .HELP . .

to make matters worse some ppl that worked one building down had never heard of 3dfx, plus we went in and back out that driveway, i sure hope im not that blind ???
