I love discovering old promotional material from tech industries. There's something about the groovy color schemes mixed with odd looking electronics that really does my heart good. One thing these dusty brochures and flyers were never shy to do was stick a pretty girl (often in a miniskirt) somewhere in the photo. I don't care if it's a 1976 Data General microprocessor or a 1965 TTL Quad Gate, there's going to be a pretty baby somewhere in that brochure, guaranteed.
The combination of shag carpet, matching Harvest Yellow equipment, mini skirt, and antiquated technology is a magical combination. My Chicks 'n' Computers Flickr set gets a lot of traffic, for good reason. Here's a sampling of some of my images. Enjoy!
Note: If you want to view some of these in their original size, it may probably be best just to go to the Flickr set. Some of these will open in a new window/tab but will not enlarge when you click on them. Don't ask me why - the answer will only bore you.
