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.

The Computer graphic screen on which Gary and Wyatt 'program' their own Kelly Le Brock in 1985's weird science movie. You can tell it's a serious piece of computing hardware because it requires X Y and Z coordinates. Which is why the computer babe they build is exactly 79 inches by 140 inches by 78 inches in size. ROFL. Great gift for 80s movie fans, retro computing geeks and weird scientists.

Amiga World Magazine was a print publication dedicated to the popular Amiga computer platform. It was a prominent Amiga magazine, particularly in the United States, and was published out of Massachusetts from 1985 until April 1995. The first several issues were distributed before the computer was available for sale to the public. The Amiga was a family of personal computers introduced by Commodore in 1985 with the original model as one of a number of computers with 16- or 32-bit processors, 256 KB or more of RAM, mouse-based GUIs, and significantly improved graphics and audio compared to previous 8-bit systems. Based on the 68000 processor, the Amiga differed from its contemporaries through the inclusion of accelerated graphics hardware.

ANALOG Computing was an American computer magazine devoted to the Atari 8-bit family of home computers. It was published from 1981 until 1989. In addition to reviews and tutorials, ANALOG printed multiple programs in each issue for users to type in. Almost every issue included a machine language video game—as opposed to Atari BASIC—which were uncommon in competing magazines. Such games were accompanied by the assembly language source code. ANALOG also sold commercial games, two books of type-in software, and access to a custom bulletin-board system. After the Atari ST was released, coverage of the new systems moved to an ST-Log section of the magazine before spinning off into a separate publication under the ST-Log name.

The Jupiter Ace was a small computer system developed by the English computer company, Jupiter Cantab, founded by Richard Altwasser and Steven Vickers, both of whom had worked on the ZX Spectrum. Named after the early British computer, the Pilot ACE, the Jupiter Ace utilized the Forth programming language instead of the more common BASIC. Sales were slow, with only around 5,000 units sold before the company closed. The machine struggled to gain acceptance due to its use of Forth, limited published software, poor case design, and small initial memory. Additionally, its tile-based monochrome graphics were inferior to competing machines' pixel-based color graphics. Forth, while being structured and powerful, was considered difficult to learn.

Zork is a text-based fantasy adventure game series that was first released in 1977 under the title Dungeon. The game was made for PCs, the first version being made for the PDP-10. The game features no graphics or art, and is entirely text based, playing out like an interactive book. The developers, as the company Infocom, expanded and split the game into three titles—Zork I: The Great Underground Empire, Zork II: The Wizard of Frobozz, and Zork III: The Dungeon Master—which were released commercially for a range of personal computers beginning in 1980. Players take on the role of an unnamed adventurer who is trapped in a dungeon called The Great Underground Empire and type in contextual commands to escape the dangers of the dungeon.

Why do caps go bad? Poor parenting? A failure of society? Maybe they were born bad… Sometimes, good caps just go bad.

The Osborne Computer Corporation (OCC) was an American computer company and pioneer in the field of portable computers. Adam Osborne founded the company in 1980, and went to work on developing the world's first mass-produced portable computer in 1981. Called the Osborne 1, it cost $1,795, which was a lot of money in 1981, but along with a very chunky computer – all 14+ pounds of it – along with a plethora of floppy disks packed with software. It ran the CP/M operating system along with a CBASIC compiler and MSBASIC. At the time, it was seen as a stroke of genius. Sales of the Osborne 1 began slowly, but by the end of 1981, the company was shipping 2,000 units a month – an astonishing figure at that time.

The BEST screensaver. Period. Change my mind.

Founded in 1979 in Fremont, California, GRiD Systems Corp. was an early portable computer manufacturer known for producing rugged and semi-rugged machines. GRiD is credited with several pioneering ideas, including the first portable computer, the first clamshell laptop computer, the first commercially available tablet-type portable computer, and the concept of a "bus" for connecting peripherals (using GPIB). The 1982 GRiD Compass 1101 is considered the granddaddy of all present-day laptop computers. It had 256k RAM, an 8086, 320x240 screen, and 384k of internal 'bubble memory' that held data with power off.

CompUSA was a retailer and reseller of personal computers, consumer electronics, technology products and computer services. Starting with one brick-and-mortar store in 1984 under the name Soft Warehouse, by the '90s CompUSA had grown into a nationwide big box chain with at least 229 locations at it's peak. Crushed by competition from other brick-and-mortar retailers, corporate oversight which was out of touch with evolving market realities, and a failure to make a strong transition to online sales, CompUSA began closing what they classified as low performing locations in 2006. By 2008, only 16 locations were left, and by 2012, the remaining stores had all been sold off.
