This is kinda fun for ex-DEC / Digital UK alumni or users - They are making a movie too!

I found it trying to find old DECUS programmes for the UK/Ireland when we did the annual conferences at Warwick Uni.

Reading's DIGITAL Revolution

A ground-breaking exhibition charting the rise of Reading’s role in the UK’s ‘Silicon Valley’ is set to open in March 2025. We are in the final stages of researching and presenting Reading’s DIGITAL Revolution, a major project celebrating the diamond jubilee of the computer company Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) opening its first UK office in Reading - a moment that would redefine the future of our town and region. You can find out more about the project by viewing the Reading’s DIGITAL Revolution trailer film, produced with our project partners at the National Museum of Computing thanks to a generous grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Here's my #throwbackthursday contribution. This was my bedroom in 1988.

The large rack contained my #pdp11 34, with an RL02 drive under it. In the corner is an ATT #3b1 (aka #unixpc), with an old #mac next to it.

The thing I really miss is the #dec #gigi terminal in the middle. Very hard to find now. It was a graphics #vt100 compatible terminal.

The PDP11 ran #rsts. There's 2 more racks full of hardware for it off to the left. Was like being next to jetliner when it was running.

In the case of a #DEC shop: Behold the wall of orange!
