If not, forget it bub.

Actually, EJW found a company that makes cooler ones, and they can array them in any layout you want.

Re: Microsoft, B.C. https://ianbell.com/2000/06/02/re-microsoft-bc/ Sat, 03 Jun 2000 03:01:46 +0000 https://ianbell.com/2000/06/02/re-microsoft-bc/ Interestingly, if MSFT moves to Vancouver it may become a whole lot harder to retain development/engineering talent in the area in the short term. This will deeply hurt the startup community that is just barely getting going there, I think. Long term, it could be Vancouver’s next major boom and will make it a Mecca for startups five years from now.
