A Widlar Poster For The Ages

Listener and WotW alum Jaime (@jpwack) wanted a poster to put up on his friend’s bench. The friend was…how to say it…analog-averse? Here’s the Widlar shot from Paul Rako’s blog with a famous Widlar quote. Jaime also added some good info for context once people walk by and are curious as to why they’re seeing someone flip the bird.

And an even HIGHER resolution one, based on a file sent from Paul Rako (and with a few updates to the parts designed, as corrected by Bob Pease).

    Maybe someone could design a t-shirt with this phrase. Something similar to Bruce Schneier t-shirt.

    Consider it possibly done.

    It could be a series of posters/tshirts, all within the Public Domain and with no credits.

    […] Dave’s office is ready for some wall hangings (post-approval from the wife, of course). He should hang up the Widlar poster! […]
