Rare photos share a peek inside Jeff's office space, although it's not clear if they were taken at the Seattle property. Jeff and his 11 employees moved out of his garage and into a nearby warehouse in 1996, but one snap dated 1999 reveals the businessman lounging on a red quilted seat in front of a wooden desk with several old computers.A stack of CDs was placed on the floor which was covered with faded red carpets, while he held one up proudly to the camera.
