Gentle Listers:

Can anyone please direct me to some authority on the history of DG? I just
finished The Soul of A New Machine, Tracy Kidder, '81, and wanted to follow
what happened to the company on its road to wherever. It is interesting to
note that DG had a 32 bit 'supermini' 8 years before HP did. Fat lot of good
it did them. 'Course the same can be said now for HP! Irony upon irony!

Thanks for the bandwidth and I really think that this is not OT, kinda,
sorta.
