>through the lens of our own 20/20 hindsight
Here's another quote from the article that seems to be a constant feature over the decades:
>PDP is an acronym for “Programmed Data Processor”, as at the time, computers had a reputation of being large, complicated, and expensive machines, and DEC’s venture capitalists would not support them if they built a “computer”
Looks like some VC's have always been more impressed by the slide deck and presentation than the actual potential of the business concept or individuals developing the technology.
That's something worth learning as well.
Anyway, anybody want a used VAX 4000-200? Available for pick up in Houston this week.
If so, post PM info here along with what you would like to do with it.
I'll check this thread in a few days to see if there is any interest.
Also, an HP1000 in a full rolling rack the size of a refrigerator.
