I hate to admit it, but there exists some radio station promotional material that contains a photo of me resembling the dork on the right side of the middle row of the`70s shot. No, it will not be posted here any time soon.
Classic! Everyone has seen that awful 1970’s era Microsoft photo, well, Newsweek has got everyone from that picture to come back for a new group shot. Predictably, they’re a lot less … um … unattractive than they used to be.
That photo of 11 weirdos in ’70s clothes you may have seen on the Internet really is the original Microsoft team, snapped Dec. 7, 1978, on the eve of the company’s move from Albuquerque, N.M., to Seattle. Almost 30 years later, a few weeks before Bill Gates’s departure from Microsoft, the group (looking better) reconvened.

Any idea if they are relatively in the same position in the new picture as they are in the old? (Is there a picture that exists with people labeled?)
P.S.: I should think a photo of you in your ‘70’s garb posted up here would bring in a few web hits for your site. (Or get your site black-listed.) Either way… good for a brief nostalgic laugh.

I wondered the same thing. Since they are now in two rows, instead of the original three, it makes it harder to figure out which is which. You might try a Google search on the picture to see if anyone has labeled it.
As to my weirdo pix, I will have to work up a lot of nerve before posting them. Yes, I once DID have hair. A lot of it as a matter of fact. To my credit, I never owned a leisure suit, however.
