[/intense_button]
Fast Company is the shit; I told you this before.
Here’s the deal – back in the day of Dot Com 1.0 (yes, I said 1.0 implying that there will be another tech bubble and it’s coming sooner than you realize, trust me, this shit is unsustainable), your web startup was not popping if everyone in the office including the office dog was not posted up in a Herman Miller Aeron Chair. I have no clue what the company’s revenue was prior to 1998/1999/2000, but best believe revenue went bananas during this period of time. Quite simply, you could not have any other chair. When the reality of your bullshit web company and its hokey business plan that was written on a paper napkin in a local bar, it left a nation of orphan Aerons to be listed on Craigslist and Ebay on the cheap. The only good thing that came out of the first dot com era was my introduction to the Rolls Royce of office chairs. And you gotdamn right, I’m sitting in a Herman Miller Aeron Chair right now as I type in my home office that I got on the cheap!
