Buzzsaw Baby Picture (circa May 2000)
From May 0f 2000. Buzzsaw was still a dot com, not under Autodesk at the time.

Some interesting bits:
- Carl Bass was the CEO of Buzzsaw at the time.
- Many of us were using dialup internet access, so uploading/downloading to/from Buzzsaw wasn't a lot of fun.
- There were tons of "Collaboration" tools/companies bursting onto the scene (many of them are now gone). You couldn't throw a rock at a trade show without hitting a collaboration booth.
- There was free training on Thursdays at 1pm (this still occurs each and every Thursday)
- You'll see the link showing the second round of Venture Funding of $75M.....this funding link also reveals the Buzzsaw Launch date of November 1, 1999.
- There was a free "Basic Plan" for Buzzsaw......I think it was for 25 or 50 members with 500MB storage (don't quote me on those numbers)
- The idea of a site webcam was promoted on the homepage
The links are slow......but many of them still work.
