Interesting news!
are the latex gloves in there? 💩🖐🏿
Is JV's Little Black Book in here or did he pass it on to his successor?
Wow, drink the kool-aid and pass the bo-g !
Ahhh, the long, indulgent, wavy romantic prose of a true xeroid boomer. Any millennial secretly concedes sincere envy of those fortunate enough to provide relevant technology to customers in the 80’s: The commissions were outrageous y’all!

A Memorable Journey with Xerox
In the heart of Xerox, where printers hummed and copiers clicked, I found more than a job. It was a place that shaped my life, paid my bills, and connected me with lifelong friends.
The Early Days
Fresh out of college, I stepped into Xerox’s world. The iconic logo greeted me, promising adventure. Little did I know that this company would become my second home—a place where I’d forge bonds, celebrate milestones, and learn invaluable lessons.
Beyond the Paycheck
Xerox paid my salary, but it also paid my dreams. With each paycheck, I saved for my future, bought my first car—a modest sedan that carried me through life’s twists and turns. But it wasn’t just about the money; it was about the pride—the knowledge that my hard work contributed to something bigger.
Lifelong Friendships
Within Xerox’s walls, I built lifelong friendships. We shared coffee breaks, swapped stories, and celebrated birthdays. Our camaraderie extended beyond office hours, as we navigated life’s challenges together. And when my family expanded, Xerox was there—supporting me as I raised my children, teaching me resilience, and showing me the true meaning of community.
Skills That Endure
Xerox wasn’t just about photocopies; it was a training ground. I honed my technical skills, troubleshooting printers and mastering software. But beyond that, I learned patience, adaptability, and the art of collaboration. These skills transcended the office—they became part of who I am.
Proud to Be a Xeroid
Today, I carry Xerox’s legacy with pride. The memories—the late-night projects, the laughter-filled meetings—are etched in my heart. Xerox fulfilled more than a job; it fulfilled a lifetime. And to this very day, I remain proud to be a Xeroid.
For the record, the Xerox Historical Archives in Building 209 is currently a wonderful display of Xerox history. Kudos to those who have collected and displayed the items!
Planning a largest ball of twine type road trip. Is this open to general public?
🧻 🙌 xrx
who does?
you sh!t on your hands
Is the Ursula Burns dart board there ?
Aside from computer and mouse, products in museum are n’t that different than what Xerox sells today.
The Xerox museum moved from 200 into the area in Gil Hatch that used to be demo area of office products.
Seems like when it was in 200 there was more on display.
The guy that “runs” it now says lots of stuff is in storage.
When xerox really was a tech powerhouse. Now ancient history.
Where’d all the stuff from the museum go? Landfill? eBay? Carl’s rec room? I don’t think the Smithsonian would pick it up if you paid them.
Medusa-like powers, that portrait has, beware!
How you know where magenta frequent? Ohhh, because you there too! Maybe you both at same techno rave club right now? Maybe both you meet and be weird but not so much lonely together?
How dare you poke fun at the hallowed hall of junk from Xerox’s past!
In all seriousness the small ‘museum’ that was in bldg 200 in Webster was very cool and included a lot of history. No one knew it was there but it was a gem. Very early machines and yes all of the technology we let get away. Manuals, machines, Olympics paraphernalia and memorable ads. The good the bad and the ugly. It was a wonderful. I toured it a few times. I’m sure it is gone since they sold that bldg. sad
Yawnnn….your shtick is old now. Not even witty. Move back to the Ricoh layoff and Konica layoff website since you frequent all of them. I’m assuming you’re just a weird and lonely guy.
