I read that (quite a while ago, now), but I thought it was about the birth of a new Data General machine. Well, I've been wrong before (and no doubt, will be again!).

I forget where, but I remember Nick Negroponte writing that he knew a lot of
people who had read "The Soul of a New Machine" (I have not, but should). He
also wrote that he liked to ask them, what was the eponymous "new machine"?
He was struck by how few readers appreciated, or at least remembered, that
it was DEC's VAX.
