Probably the story of DEC itself (the maker of the PDP line). An ahead of its time company that made breakthroughs that were picked up and extended by the likes of Apple.
Runner-up: the story of Texas instruments, and their innovative use of cheap transistors.
- jaybrendansmith 4y agoDEC would be an amazing story. They invented pretty much everything, forming the fundamentals of many now-dominant IT companies. They also underwrote some of my favorite educational programming growing up. Would be nice to see a little more 'Sponsored by Microsoft' for my own kids.
