Bill, Thanks for the info. Maybe there'll be some official pronouncement at DECUS. (Is Roseanne Giordano giving a talk ?? <g, d>). – Patrick

Look for some important announcements at New Orleans. I think all PDP-11 users will be smiling. Steve

Are you THE Steve Jackson? Also that big suprise was announced at DECUS-Muchen last month so it probably not that much of a suprise anymore. Rick

No, not THE Steve Jackson! Any relation to Michael? Bob

At DEXPO in New York over a year ago, Head of DEC said "PDP is DEAD".

I doubt very much that Ken Olsen, who is the only person who could be construed as "Head of DEC", either (a) spoke at DEXPO, or (b) said "PDP is DEAD". Especially since the PDP-11/93 and 11/94 were just introduced, and PDP-11 C was introduced within the past year… -Bill

I was in the audience…I listened to Ken Olson! Although those were not his exact words…it was the implication that he left the audience with.

Take a look at the curent issue of Digital News (23-Jul-90). The lead story in the "Digital Update," (DEC's ad) immediately following page 10 is titled "Staying Power," and concerns the PDP-11..
