Description: Gordon Bell joined Digital Equipment Corporation in 1960 and spent 23 years (1960-1983) there as Vice President of Research and Development. When he started at DEC, he immediatley began promoting the PDP-1 as an example of a 'VW Beetle' of computing--a mass market, inexpensive, moderately-fast computer.
