In the early 80's I installed a computer system in one of the two stores in NY where Donna Karen sold her Jewelry. She had one uptown store, but I did work in the midtown, well actually SOHO store. Her pieces reminded me of something Wilma Flintstone would be wearing.
The system I installed was having a parity error problem which I solved after noticing how cold the location where they kept there computer was got at night. After pushing all the memory chips back into the board I told them to just leave the computer on all the time. This kept the temperature steady and the chips didn't pop out of there sockets.
Could I ever imagine DKNY one day sponsoring rockets? No, but I agree it's a good thing. The Challenger explosion was right about that time. When one of my data entry people told me about it I couldn't believe it. Strange how these events tie together in life?
