I remember dealing with DEC sales when I was on a program in the late 80s. We wanted to order some equipment and the DEC sales rep, a young woman, walked out on us because someone was selling eel skin purses in our parking lot!

I remember telling them that some day, software portability would allow us to take our software and run it on non-DEC platforms and they would be dead. The DEC sales reps just laughed in my face. At the time, they had the Intelligence Software market captured on DEC platforms.

Who knew that a DEC sales rep would be a card carrying member of PETA??
