I don't work in the computer industry, so I don't hear many pronunciations.
Do you pronounce DEC as "Dee Eee Cee" or as "deck"? I've always
called
it "deck".
I grew up with a PDP11/34a in my house (My Dad bought one from the New
Zealand Department of Health when I was 5 - shows how "young" I am
(23)) and through my old man and everyone I've ever talked to about it,
they've always been a 'Deck'.
