About This Item

TB Digital VT100

The VT100 was a video terminal made by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) which became the de facto standard used by terminal emulators. Digital Equipment Corporation was a pioneering company in the American computer industry. It is often referred to within the computing industry as DEC. Its PDP and VAX products were arguably the most popular mini-computers for the scientific and engineering communities during the 70s and 80s. DEC was acquired by Compaq, which subsequently merged with Hewlett-Packard. As of 2005 its product lines were still produced under the HP name. For many years its headquarters was in an old woolen mill in Maynard, Massachusetts.

En hij is terug in onze handen 😁

Na bijna 17 jaar omzwervingen had hij eindelijk zijn oorspronkelijke doel bereikt. Binnen twee maanden was zijn nieuwe doel, naar Drenthe, zodat wij hem konden oppikken, al bereikt.

De heenreis had dus ook best wel wat sneller gekund, zou je kunnen zeggen. Maar dit was toch wel heel erg leuk. Vaak hadden we hem al bijna al vermist opgegeven, maar telkens dook hij toch weer ergens op.

Nu mag hij bijkomen van de lange reis.
