Remember Gabocorp?

Remember Gabocorp? Hailed as the king of flash, one-man company Gabocorp's site carried a 'back early 2000' message for most of 1999. But what's happening now? ('There is no entry in Apache for the Account you are looking for...' @ 4.50 GMT +1)

For what it's worth, a job applicant (graphic design) I was interviewing several months ago told me that the word was that Gabocorp did not exist -- it was a bogus company made up by Macromedia to increase the buzz about Flash, which had just come out at that time.

I sincerely doubt Macromedia is capable of inventing Alberto Gabriel Mendoza -- gabo was too much like a personal site to be a corporate invention. Then again I never saw any of the client work he was supposedly working on.
