You know, there must have been another company using

put on those pitches my colleagues and I had to attend, which was not

was
usually present and I didn't really like what I was hearing. Is this
possible? I don't believe a public corporation can have non-public
subsidiaries. Can it?
DEC was a monolithic company, no subsidiaries, publicly traded since
well before the 1980s.
Now, thre are not less than three companies that were integrators and part
suppliers that used DIGITAL as part of their first name.
