I like that one right there. Nice 60's office shot!

scottc · 11 Mar 2015, 15:13

That one looks like it's straight off a set of Star Trek: TOS. I agree with seebart!

HzFaq · 11 Mar 2015, 15:13

Yeah, I like it too. It almost looks like a screenshot from Portal 2.

chzel · 11 Mar 2015, 15:16

matt3o can you reframe it a bit to the left?
The top of her head goes under the "Members" tab!
Really nice pic though!

Muirium · 11 Mar 2015, 15:22

Yeah, if you can move the cabinet on the left closer to the edge of the image without losing anything else, that'll be ideal.

I like having a large number of pictures on rotation so they don't get as repetitive. Could drop a few though, the trouble is choosing them. I already culled the weak.

Wait, are we sure that's a mech?

Much better! It's in, if you haven't any tweaks before I upload it?

matt3o · 11 Mar 2015, 15:55

seems good to me.

chzel · 11 Mar 2015, 15:59

Beam it up Mu!

Muirium · 11 Mar 2015, 16:00

Live.

I threw out a few oldies too. Keep the new ones coming!

Halvar · 11 Mar 2015, 16:10

Sexy. Is this really an old photo? If this is from the 60s her hair is outrageous!

seebart · 11 Mar 2015, 16:12

there are a number of interesting pictures at the Columbia University Computing History website. I'm not sure if we might get in trouble using them though. Delete if in doubt Mu!

it's a real photo, not from the 60s though. I believe it's more like late 70s

Wow! Sexy keyboard! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

seebart · 11 Mar 2015, 16:41

yes that's our sexiest header so far!

Nice that there's so much background to play with. I wasn't so lucky with the Univac chick:

These must all be photos of Cindy in the first version of her warehouse?

Why did you get rid of this one? It was one of my favourites. Return it now. NOW!

Oh, this is nice:

Muirium · 11 Mar 2015, 18:23

Oh, you like my little SPH shot, eh? I might return it, I like the complex light. That's why I submitted it. There's even a rare reflection of the blue Scottish sky!

Now I'm on my old PowerBook, Seebart's shot you picked seems to work quite nicely. Hmm…

Anyway, now that Matteo's opened the gate, I expect to see some racy submissions from your stash!

mr_a500 · 11 Mar 2015, 18:52

Here you go:

Those could have been me, back in the early 80s

Actually, that's more like a 40s hairstyle. My grandmother used to be a stylist, and I have photos from that time period like this. My mother operated a telephone setup like this in Oklahoma City until the mid-50s.

I can double check but I seem to recall the date was 1978.

I think you mean this one, right?

I meant this one:

matt3o · 11 Mar 2015, 19:18

oh yeah the upper one is definitely from between the 40s and the 50s
