Sad but not surprising. I worked for a company that was acquired by Xerox in a failed attempt to pivot. When execs came to town, we had to close the doors to the copy rooms to hide the Canon printers.

It’s 2004, and my girls and I are cruising west on I-10 in my SUV, headed back to school after spring break in Daytona Beach. We’d been driving all day, and we still have a way to go before we hit Houston, where we plan to crash at one girl’s house before going back to Austin the next day.
