Remember the old Saturday Night Live commercial parody about Wang computers?

I don't go to the movies anymore. I don't even date. I just stay home and play with my Wang."

I just stay home and play with my Wang

I miss the old days. Terrible and kind at the same time.

The next town over to me (Lowell, MA) has a huge skyscraper by Route 3 near the Chelmsford town line. It is a massive building as well - about the length of three football fields.

It used to be the world headquarters of Wang Computer. It is hard to believe that just 20 years ago, Wang Computer was a powerhouse Fortune 500 company with unlimited potential. I have never seen a company crash so fast (not even Enron) as Wang. Ten years ago, the building went up for bid at an auction and some enterpreneur snapped it up for a couple hundred thousand dollars. We're talking a building with the square footage of an average mid-size Manhattan office building here!

That was probably the deal of the century. The building was converted into office space for a large number of firms and it appears to be fully leased. That guy must be doing real well for himself.
