Retro Computer Programmer Magnets
Description: Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), was founded by Ken Olsen and Harlan Anderson in 1957 in Maynard, Massachusetts. Operating under the trade name Digital, they were a major player in the computer industry from the 1960s to the 1990s. Although the company produced many product lines over their history, they are best known for their work in the minicomputer market starting in the mid-1960s. The company produced a series of machines known as the PDP line, with the PDP-8 and PDP-11 being among the most successful minis in history. Their success was only surpassed by another DEC product, the late-1970s VAX "supermini" systems that were designed to replace the PDP-11.

Description: Long before floppy disk drives became common, many Commodore 64 owners loaded their favorite games from inexpensive cassette tapes known as datasettes. Connected through Commodore's proprietary Datasette drive, these cassettes stored programs as audio data, making them an affordable way to build a software library despite notoriously long loading times that could stretch several minutes. Throughout the 1980s, countless budget labels released games on cassette, especially across Europe, where the format remained hugely popular. While waiting for a game to load tested players' patience, the Datasette made the C64 accessible to millions of families and helped establish one of the largest and most beloved game libraries in home computing.
