Last December, there was an auction of old brand names.

You could have been the lucky owner of Meister Brau, Lucky Whip or General Cinemas.

My first real job as an engineer out of college in the mid-90s was with a company called “Zycad.” Their main product was a “hardware accelerator”—filing-cabinet-sized computer hardware that semiconductor companies would use to test chip designs before sending them off for fabrication. I was laid off in 1996, and the company went away in 1997.

A few weeks ago, someone suggested that I check out the old web site. The new “Zycad” is a company that makes toilet accessories.

I guess the only thing the new and old companies have in common is the concept of “garbage in, garbage out.”

Meister Brau is gone?!?!? I drank gallons of that stuff through college.
