In the world of IT, only two things are constant. (1) Vendors give away a lot of shirts, and (2) Vendors go out of business, merge, and/or are acquired all the time. Given those two contants, there are closets around the world full of IT Shirts from vendors who don't exist anymore. And sure, most of those shirts are only worn when doing yardwork or donated to Goodwill, but some of those shirts are just too cool to throw away.
Case-in-point? Tim's Mangan's SoftwareWOW! shirt he wore at BriForum 2005:
(What is SoftwareWOW? You'll have to ask Tim.)
To that end, I thought it would be cool to pull all these old shirts out of our closets and wear them, and what better place to do that than BriForum next week? So dig out those Digital, Wang, Inacom, and Citrix Multiuser shirts, because next week is Retro IT Shirt week at BriForum.
The coolest retro IT shirt, as voted by our applause-o-meter at the closing keynote, will win $100! (Approx. €5)
