- Available software: Partly because of the
availiability of the
hardware, there's a lot of software out there. So when you
get one up and running, you generally can do more than look
at the blinkin' lights (though that's worthwhile in itself--much
more soothing that a lot of other things).
DEC computers have literally two orders of magnitude more software
titles that still exist than most other systems. The closest runners
up are HP and Data General, though CHM has almost no DG software.
It is really sad how little software from other vendors has survived,
and beleive me, I've been beating the bushes trying to find it!
