This photo was taken 20 years ago at a New Years Eve party.
December 31, 2004.

2004 was the first year Aminus3.com went online, and the original co-creators (some pictured above) were here at this party enjoying a beverage or three.

Happy 2025 and best wishes to all.

And here's a toast to 20 years of Aminus3!
