The Voodoo2 was my first 3D video (addon) card. I was working tech support at the local ISP, and a failure on a circuit caused all authentication to fail for dialup customers for a few hours. They called in every off-duty support person they could get to come in and along with the scheduled staff we all (~20 of us) took 3-4 hours answering calls telling many of our 20k customers that yes, we had a major problem, no, we couldn't help them at that time, and hopefully it would be fixed within a couple hours. To thank the support staff, the management/owner offered the choice of a Voodoo2 card or a DVD player (~$200 each IIRC) to every support rep that helped with the load that day. I ended up working for that company three separate times in different positions, leaving for college and coming back, and working for a relative's company for a while and returning again later. It's the wonderful people there and actions like that which keep that company in a special place in my heart. (For those wondering, it's Sonic.net, now Sonic.com, or just Sonic maybe. I'm not sure the official branding, and I have years of history with it being Sonic.net)
