La 𝑫𝑬𝑪𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝑰𝑰 fue, en cierto modo, un intento de llevar una minicomputadora clásica al escritorio justo cuando la IBM PC empezaba a redefinir el mercado.
No fue la más famosa, ni la más compatible, ni la más poderosa.

Since the first time I used a "word processor" (a Decmate, in 1985, while working at @NYAMNYC), I've thought that copy-and-pasting was the end of something.

To late for that‼️‼️‼️
Consider the following…
Gutting Medicaid, allowing Jr. to decmate healthcare guidelines and install quacks in key positions…
The continuing war on women’s healthcare…
VA healthcare cuts (Fuck the vets they are losers)
Removal of Transgender care…

At one of my early jobs (1983) we had DECmate “computers”. They were really dumb terminals. Digital Equipment is out of business, I think. Good riddance.

This weekend’s mission is to draw a wireframe cube on a remote terminal in Tek 4010 vector graphics mode from my DECmate, which means it’s time to figure out FORTRAN IV

Hey, that looks familiar.
It’s a DECmate II! It comes in the same enclosure as the Rainbow and uses the same peripherals, but inside it’s a PDP-8 (well, Harris 6120) system. It came with some shitty word processing system but DEC ported OS/8 to it as well.
Mine has the Z80 card for CP/M.
