PS: When did DEC ever have a PeeCee? I remember their 11/* machines fondly; the next thing I knew they got bought out by a PC firm.
DEC had lots of PCs. Desktops, laptops. etc. Even SAMs club had DEC PCs.
They started off with their proprietary Pros and Rainbows, then went to
industry standard PCs once the BIOSes had been legally cloned. Part of
their PC work was with Olivetti.
Wasn't it DEC that crreated the early 64-bit Alpha?? Or was this afteer they were sold down the river to <was it Compac?>? I didn't know DEC was selling Intel PCs.
Yes, the Alpha was a DEC product.
My dad worked at DEC from 76 through around 92 and I worked there 88-93 as well as two summers in 84 and 85. Until Ken Olsen left and things started to fall apart, I was ready to work there my whole life.
