I lived in Fairfax County for 17 years, pretty much centered on the 90s, and I remember AOL employees claiming that most internet traffic went through their data centers. No idea if it was true. Of course, they all retired at 16 and bought islands, so I'm no longer in touch with any of them.
Late to the party here, but...
One day trip from Washington DC to Minneapolis. In February (-10 F). Return flight that afternoon. Company was famous for that.
Got to the airport, went to use the toilet, looked down and found my tie soaking in 4 inches of water. "Used" water.
Spent 30 minutes in a sales meeting without saying a word, went back to the airport, got sloshed with the sales rep. Somehow lost my driver's license at security, had to spend a full day later that week to get a new one at DMV.
And that little company that nobody loved? IBM.
