This cool tee was made for tech enthusiasts, particularly fans of the VAX-11/780 system. This shirt comes from the 1983 DECUS US Symposium held in Las Vegas, and it looks to have been made specifically for a Tucson Users Group, who were attending. It's safe to assume this local user group might have been a part of the VAX SIG, as this shirt features some cheeky double-sided graphics that are designed to promote the superiority of the VAX family of computers. The front shows the VAX-11/780 looming over its burning competition, including systems from Burroughs, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Data General, and Prime. Meanwhile the back reads "VAX Vobiscum", a play off the latin phrase, "pax vobiscum", which means "peace be with you". Instead this shirt intends to bear the message "VAX be with you".

The tag says large but this shirt fits like a modern unisex adult medium
