Re:What story from the PDP-8 era would make a good script? by Doctor-R on Monday November 21, 2022 @02:56PM (#33697100)
Digital Equipment Corporation, located outside of Boston, was the developer of the PDP family of computers. A key figure in developing many of their computers was C. Gordon Bell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Bell. There is a cute meet story with his wife, Gwen. They founded the Computer Museum in Boston, which (long story) became the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA (Silicon Valley). He is/was on the Board of Trustees since founding. There is a four part oral history from 2005 with transcripts in CHM's archives. There are a bunch of videos on youtube. Most of his books are on the web, see: https://gordonbell.azurewebsites.net/gbvita.htm
