I took one look at the sideburns and thought this can't possibly be real. It had to be a well done (and amusing) hoax.
I was about 60% sure someone got access to a preserved data center that's now a museum, raided the Mad Men wardrobe and took a bunch of pictures, but then I saw the personal page of the guy and it's an older version of him:

The Internet has made me such a cynic. But still... someone should take my idea of faking old timey things for a different theme and set of pic ;)
- jschuur 16y agoOn a side note, I remember growing up in the early 80ies, travelling by plane with my Dad who worked for IBM and he would sometimes bring these giant tape spools with him in his luggage. I guess flying across the country with them was faster than uploading the data across the Net ;) Either that, or he was committing corporate espionage. In which case, I wasn't getting nearly enough presents, Dad!
