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.
Since my first day with ICOM was 20 years ago today (!), I thought I'd post this image of a button I came across recently. I'm not sure who produced these, or for what purpose, but they were all over the place shortly after the merger with Rockwell. It was indeed quite a ride!

Happy Anniversary Dave! In the immortal words of Jerry Garcia:

I have one of these buttons, too. These were produced for, and distributed at, the Zifferer/Menter farewell party (after Rockwell bought out their minority interest in RSI).
