November 16, 2001; 4:25 pm. I shut down my computers:

• spray-can.be.com: A dual-PII-350 (once a mighty Athlon 800) running the latest experimental build of (what was once called) BeOS.
• paint-bucket.be.com: A PowerBook G3/400 ("Pismo") running MacOS X, on which I once did UI design.

4:40 pm. I turn in my key to the third floor of 800 El Camino Real.

4:45 pm. I pull out of the Be parking lot for the last time.
