Ok, I cant let this one go without a comment. I joined DEC as a sales 
engineer in the Ann Arbor Michigan office in Feb 1969. That was still 
PDP8 days, the 11 didnt come until 1970. We had a series of application 
systems we sold on PDP8's, and as I recall one of them was for 
generating NC code on paper tape. Ive got one box of DEC stuff packed 
away, and I think I still have something here about the NC system.

Under my keyboard as I write this is a PDP15 logo panel, and somewhere 
around here there is still a trophy for the biggest PDP12 sale.

I lasted until the end, bought by Compaq, then by HP, but I took the HP 
early retirement offer.  I was in every state in the US, most of Europe, 
Japan, Australia doing sales support or training. It was a hell of a 
ride while it lasted.
