- ghaff 3y agoWay back when I was in grad school there was a fair bit of "tech" (a lot of it storage hardware) in the greater Denver area and the computer companies definitely pitched the skiing and general outdoor lifestyle as a reason to come work for them there.
- saryant 3y agoThe 36 corridor between Denver and Boulder was home to a ton of storage tech startups in the first dotcom boom. There’s still a street called “Tape Drive”.
- lygaret 3y agoyeah! I used to work at that StorageTek location, before they sold to Sun and then Oracle. Conoco bought the land like 10 years back and demolished the old offices for a "clean energy lab" IIRC , though that never happened and now Tape Drive (and Disk Drive, on the western side of the campus) just deadend into a large empty field. The fact that those offices are gone feels like a weird message about tech, but i don't know what it is.
