Programmer Magnets
Description: Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), was founded by Ken Olsen and Harlan Anderson in 1957 in Maynard, Massachusetts. Operating under the trade name Digital, they were a major player in the computer industry from the 1960s to the 1990s. Although the company produced many product lines over their history, they are best known for their work in the minicomputer market starting in the mid-1960s. The company produced a series of machines known as the PDP line, with the PDP-8 and PDP-11 being among the most successful minis in history. Their success was only surpassed by another DEC product, the late-1970s VAX "supermini" systems that were designed to replace the PDP-11.
Description: Founded in Sunnyvale, California during the early '80s, Cyberdyne Systems' products were primarily computer processors, but also made small components for larger manufacturers in the tech industry. A T-800 Terminator, which was sent from the future and designed to kill humans, was crushed in one of the hydraulic presses in Cyberdyne's factory. From the Terminator's wreckage, the company was able to procure future tech by way of it's CPU chip and nearly complete arm segment. The advanced technology from these elements were reverse engineered, rapidly accelerating Cyberdyne Systems into the future, suddenly making them a major player in cutting-edge tech.
Description: The story of Commodore and the Amiga was, by far, even more interesting than that of Apple or Microsoft. It is a tale of vision, of technical brilliance, dedication, and camaraderie. It is also a tale of deceit, of treachery, and of betrayal. It is a tale that has largely remained untold and if you weren't there, you can now look like you were with this vintage style Commodore Amiga shirt with just enough wear and tear to make it look the part.
Description: This design consists of the unicode emoticon for shrugging your shoulders and smiling and the text "it works on my machine", one of the most frequent excuses you hear when confronting a programmer with a bug. The text elements are printed in dark grey on a white background on different products.
