There was a big push at the end of 2003 to get the NX7 system up for a year end demo. When we demonstrated that the new NX7 cards could successfully pass traffic, we had a party in the hardware lab. These are photos from that happy event.
Later, the goal was to demonstrate that the new PAC linecards could carry traffic. I don't have pictures from that accomplishment, but the PACman invitation that you see at the top of this webpage is the invitation that I sent out to all Petaluma - Hey everybody, at 4:00 PM, leave your cubes and come to the hardware lab for a slick presentation!

Oops! Don't look at this scope waveform showing crummy SERDES performance, this demo is all about success!

The rest of these pictures are from Mahi Work, but that webpage was already too big (hey, we did a lot of work!) so I placed these work pictures on this page.
