We are still operating ours - 27 1080P projectors - but with a skeleton crew of just 3. Given the air volume, it’s almost like outside. Everyone else is WFH. —L.B.

Ideally configured to be actually useful for NOC purposes and also something impressive looking for customer tours. To what extent potential customers find that sort of thing to be a signifier of seriousness on the part of an ISP, I suppose depends on what sort of customers they are, and their relative degree of technical sophistication. Are the days of such an environment gone forever?
