I remember using a DEC Alpha back in the late '90s. It was the fastest computer I had ever used by a long shot and I had access to most of the hardware from IBM, Sun, HP, etc at the time. It was an absolute monster.
Also my first connection to the internet in 1993 was via a VAX.
I will always have fond memories of DEC.
