Oh my god... I wish my dad had attended this. He was a reseller of DG in Germany back in the late 70s/early 80s. In fact the first mini-computer I remember as a kid was a DG Nova 2 with a Diablo 44 Hard Disk and some Terminals. The first game I ever played on this computer was "Moon Lander". My dad told me many stories about the times back then :)

And I was with DG in RTP, NC during the Fountain Head and DG/One days. Still the best job I ever had.

I worked at Data General in the 70's in Portsmouth NH. Data was the best place I ever worked and still think about it today.

Glad I stumbled onto this video. I never had the opportunity to meet him but certainly enjoyed the opportunities Data General provided me as a Field Engineer from March 1977 to August 1983. I was badge #10000 and worked in offices in Minneapolis, Cedar Rapids and Des Moines. I once met Seymour Cray in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. After I finished a service call working on an Eclipse system, I needed a customer signature on my service ticket. Mr. Cray signed my support ticket that day. I didn't realize until later who he even was. Cray "buried" an Eclipse inside their Cray-1 systems. I guess they knew good engineering and DG CPUs certainly provided that.

I assume that the excellent Danish distributor Ed de Castro mentions near the end is Regnecentralen (translates into Computing Central). At Roskilde University Centre we had one of their computer systems with a Nova at its center, 2 removable Diablo disk (10 MB each), a teletype as the system console, and 6-8 CRT terminals. Later the Computer Science Department upgraded to an MV/10000 which became an MV/15000 and was eventually joined by a tiny MV/7800. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regnecentralen

I really enjoyed seeing Ed talk about the evolution of Data General. I'm proud to have been a member of the DG sales force and been associated with the "best in the business" sales organization.
