When I first started in information technology back in the mid 70's, IBM 
used to come to service our glass house and they would be wearing suits, 
neck ties and white shirts. The reason for the white shirts was the ink 
from the printers and check sorters could be bleached out, more or less.

I always thought it was idiotic to see an IBM technician pulling 
interface cables through a computer room raised floor, all the time 
wearing a suit. The guys in the electricians union had the right idea. 
Jeans and tee/sweatshirts and making 10x what the IBM geeks were making.
