Which technology was that???
The last time I remember DEC inventing anything fairly current was when they
came up with the VAX. That was 25 years ago. Everything they sold was the
OLDEST technology they could get and still foist of on the unwary
buyer. They'd
NEVER have used anything as up-to-date as what Intel pushes, not that it's the
latest-greatest.
Um, I'm sure this is a troll, but still -- DEC was a leader in
Ethernet implementation; in SCSI; in RISC (Alpha). VMS was the first to
have true clustering, a technology that is still largely unequaled
elsewhere. DEC's FORTRAN implementation was a leader for many years, and
is still excellent.
How's that?
