Some things never change. As the evening went on, I wondered why I hadn't kept in touch with many of my classmates.

People change jobs and leave their colleagues in the dust.
Entire companies are formed, acquired or disbanded, and forgotten. Such, of course, is the nature of progress. People working on Internet time can't afford to be sentimental about the past because there is so much future ahead. Still, I can't help but wonder if we aren't leaving too much behind. In the automobile industry, manufacturers put a few cars aside to demonstrate their past successes and even to remember their daring failures.
