"We are convinced that any business needs its wild ducks. And in IBM we try not to tame them." T.J. Watson, Jr.

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world. The unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends upon the unreasonable man." G.B. Shaw

...Don't fight city hall. It doesn't matter. cubicles. YES, BUT. Lip service. Rules Rules Rules. You're not onboard. Remember, this is IBM. Administrivia. Work Week. Draft a memo....

I received an email (20Jul09): "I am confident that this poster was done in the IBM Boulder lab by Ken White, the senior graphics designer there in that era. You might want to give him credit. ... White, now deceased, was a protégé of Paul Rand at Yale. Rand, of course, did a lot of graphics work for IBM, including its logos."
