I have long wondered if someone shouldn't document the history of computing
through its T-shirts. As we know, you can't launch a product without a T
shirt, and you can't go to a computer trade show without coming home with a
new summer wardrobe for yourself, the family, the cat. Wouldn't it make a
great web page!

But, I will settle for the history of the Net thru its wearable art. I know
of the first Gophercon shirt, was that 1992? I have an assorted EFF
collection here, too. I also have a 1993 bootleg shirt from Cisco with the
famous New Yorker "Nobody knows you're a dog" cartoon on it and a Cisco
flyer on the bulletin board behind the computer.

But those can't have been the first. (Doesn't anyone know of a "Surfing the
Arpanet" shirt for example? ;-))
