Last Great Internet Bubble Auction

jlouderb writes "At least that's what they are calling it. Cowan Alexander is getting ready to auction off the assets of MP3.com (now owned by CNet) on March 10th and 11th. The items up for sale include lots of those dumb Herman Miller Aeron chairs that were so popular, along with servers and notebooks that are probably hopelessly out of date. The best part, though -- a 1997 yellow hummer and a 1994 "Fat Boy" Harley. Plus, they've got pictures!"

Those chairs rock

[ChaosDiscord]

"dumb Herman Miller Aeron chairs"? Those dumb chairs rock. They're extremely adjustable. They're extremely comfortable, and not in a lounging around way, but in a "I could sit here working at my computer for eight hours a day and not grow to loathe my chair" way. They may be expensive, but they're great chairs. Are they worth the price? That's a more personal question. Personally, as soon as I find a moderately priced used one I plan on getting one for my home.

(Aerons are great chairs, but they have one big weakness: the cheese grater effect. The nylon mesh backing is nice and cool in warm weather, but in the winter when it's tool that mesh shreds sweaters. I ended up putting an old t-shirt over the back of mine at work.)
