A farewell to blibbets…
Posted on August 25th, 2009 by roger
It was a sad day last week when my last Microsoft “blibbet” T-Shirt became a collection of rags.
I’d had the shirt since 1985 — and with it’s passing so goes an era.
For those of you who don’t know what the “blibbet” was, it was the “O” in the old (I believe technically second) Microsoft logo — and that was the logo they used up until 1987.
Fortunately I still have much of the stock that came with the “blibbet” T-Shirt. LOL
