ICOM was founded in 1985 and was merged into Rockwell Automation in 1994 as part of the Rockwell Software group. <br /> <br />There are about a hundred people who are mostly proud of their involvement with ICOM. These are their stories. <br /> <br />The intention is to have volunteers contribute their memories. Over the course of time, one person’s memory is not always the same as someone else’s memory, and may not even be accurate. But it might be entertaining anyway… <br /> <br />The volunteers can be virtually anyone, an ICOM employee, distributor, customer, vendor, or even competitor. But, there needs to be some rules: <br /> <br />1) We cannot intentionally do anything that might violate trademarks or copyrights held by Rockwell Automation or others. <br />2) The intention is to post fond memories of ICOM, not memories that might embarrass, humiliate, or otherwise hurt someone’s feelings. Of course, this goes for photographs as well. <br /> <br />This is currently formatted in a web log format, using Blogger (a Google company). I hope to one-day use the software that generates http://www.folklore.org, when it is finished. Folklore.org is a web site dedicated to the history of the Macintosh computer. <br /> <br />So, this web site is basically an experiment. If people like it, we’ll keep it going. <br /> <br />- Duane Fahey (ICOM employee number 40, I think)Duane Faheyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10922008243873501199noreply@blogger.com
