A moment of silence for DEC...

DEC, DG, Wang are at the forefront of technology. Big (and smart)
companies that will go on forever.

Sorry, it was Data General we made the PCs for, not Digital Equipment

This all leaves out so much computing history:

Electrodata (late 50's) 220
Burroughs B5000/B5500/B300/B3500 (early 60's)
GE-600 series (GE-635 was the internet equivalent in 1965)
CDC-6600 (PLATO was the internet equivalent in the 1970's)
Honeywell (nee Datamatic) 800, 200, DPS systems
IBM 1401, 7094
RCA Spectra 70, RCA series
NCR 315 (1962)
ICL
Groupe Bull
Univac III, 1100/2200
