Haha ucodegen back in the heyday of engineering I met Huey Lewis when his band was hired to play at a DAC conference in L.A. (you bitter engineers know what I’m talkin’ about). That’s when it was routine for companies like HP to throw million-dollar parties (and invite bitter engineers) and give away prizes like motorcycles, ultra-10 workstations (hey those used to be da shiznit), and my favorite: 3rd-row seats at a Laker’s playoff game (I won them and sat 2 rows behind Jack Nicholson!)… Ah how I miss those days, one of the few times an engineer can feel like a rock star! Nowadays you’d be lucky if you go to an industry party and win an iPod shuffle.
