PiDP-11
The PiDP-11 is a modern replica of Digital Equipment Corporation’s influential PDP-11 minicomputer. Before we had a computer on every desk and in every home–and long before they were in every pocket–computers were large, intimidating, and locked in special rooms at universities and corporations. The PDP series paved the way for making computers more accessible.
PDP stood for Programmed Data Processor, and this distinguished line of computers was produced from 1957 to 1990. Each PDP model was numbered sequentially from the one to sixteen (skipping PDP-2 and unlucky 13). The PDP-1, PDP-8, and PDP-11 are best remembered today. The PDP-11 was DEC’s first 16-bit computer, and cost $20,000 when released in 1970. Reportedly, 600,000 units were sold over its long life, and it was the tool of choice for countless computing innovations, including the creation of UNIX and the C programming language. The 32-bit VAX minicomputer eventually replaced the venerable PDP-11.

I started this post thinking it would be very technical and only appeal to an engineering type crowd, but it turned out the story here was about something else. Losing sight of what makes you happy, maybe. Or alternatively, how to create a really bad bonus incentive program. -Mad Ned
In 1996, I was working for Digital Equipment Corporation, at the time the second largest computer company in the world. Today most people have never heard of it. I still find it amazing how quickly such a huge company could just vanish, seemingly without a trace. Digital, or DEC as it was popularly known, had a long, storied history in the computer world. It was a leader in the transition towards making smaller, ‘mini’ systems that brought computers out of the controlled machine room, and into the direct hands of people in the office, school, and lab. DEC was a pioneer in that regard, a cool, new, disru

What was your first job? My first real job was in the Canadian Armed Forces, more specifically in the Navy. It was my first exposure to technology, and I found out pretty quickly that I loved learning how things work and troubleshooting complex problems.
