Telescan T-Shirts

While tossing out ancient t-shirts I ran across some Telescan memorabilia.

I remember Richard Carlin handing these shirts out in front of the server room. 1998 was a promising time. Wall Street City was growing by leaps and bounds and we were talking with CNBC. Telescan employees with stock options in the $1.50 range were quite happy.

Was it April or May 1995? I can't remember. I do remember the weeks leading up to the release of TIP were a blur. Very busy times, in the Richmond Avenue building a year before Telescan moved one last time.
I don't think anyone ever figured out what that big plate glass wall with the blue painted backdrop in the reception area was supposed to be. A TV set?

FYI, in case you haven't heard the Investools Houston office was shut down.
