Tha was not DEC's way. They tended to keep things
or offer them to
educational establishments. I can't imagine a conversation along the lines
of: Q. "Please may we have your PDP-6 to preserve?"
? ?A. " No I want to scrap it"
In the early 1980s? From every DEChead I have talked to, the early
1980s was a time for change in DEC - the company "grew up" and became
far more corporate. Many say DEC lost their soul in the 1980s.
And was't Jupiter killed about this time? The PDP-6 could have fallen
just for spite.
