ICOM Lore

Anecdotes about ICOM, Inc., a software automation company, last located in West Allis, Wisconsin (1985-1994).

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…

The volunteers can be virtually anyone, an ICOM employee, distributor, customer, vendor, or even competitor. But, there needs to be some rules:

1) We cannot intentionally do anything that might violate trademarks or copyrights held by Rockwell Automation or others.
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.

To reconnect with former ICOM employees, we suggest using LinkedIn.com.

www.icomlore.org

I just purchased this domain name today, icomlore.org. In a few days or maybe a week, I will be moving the web log to that location.

So, if you ever come back here to blogspot.com and you can't find the web log, you now know where it is. I would move it sooner, but it takes a couple of days to get things going.

The benefits to our own domain name is as follows:
1) Easier to remember.
2) No advertisements at the top. This page isn’t about making money.
3) We can post photos within the web log.
4) We will have space and capabilities to create web pages beyond the web log, if we want to.
5) Right now we are using Blogger.com for web log creation. By having our own domain name and space, we can switch to another technology in the future (maybe folklore.org).

Also note that Dave Ruske has agreed to maintain and share a private ICOM e-mail list (this information is in the web log’s header). Thanks Dave!
