Good to hear the mention of Digital Equipment Corp. They were one of my big customers back in the day. We supplied them sound attenuation and filter foams for what were then referred to as "mini-computers".
They had plants all over New England and at one time were growing so fast they couldn't find land fast enough to build on. I remember one case where they had converted a Stop & Shop super market to a production plant.
Their problem was all their software was proprietary and they also missed the trend towards consumer usage. In fact, Ken Olsen, DEC's founder, is famous for saying, "Why would anyone need a computer at home". Same kind of thing happened to another couple of other one-time local companies, Data General and Wang Labs.
