Yesterday I finally got a couple books I'd gotten on eBay a couple weeks
ago, obviously "VAXcluster Principles" is an interesting book, but I was
surprised how good of a book "The Digital Dictionary" is. I got the 2nd
Edition (the first was mainly internal use). It's a dictionary of all the
different terms that were in use around 1986. As such it contains info on
the PDP-10, PDP-11, and VAX, as well as DECmate's, Rainbows, and
Professionals. As well as the Apps, Languages, and OS's. Great book if
you want to know what a specific term or acronym means. Well worth picking
up if you are in to DEC stuff and can find a copy!
