DEC co-founder writes memoir, traces company's rise and fall
Harlan Anderson, who founded Digital Equipment Corp. with Ken Olsen in 1957, has written a new book on his days as a computer pioneer: "Learn, Earn and Return: My Life as a Computer Pioneer," published by Locust Press. In it, he chronicles his humble beginnings on an Illinois farm up through his first interactions with computers at the University of Illinois; large-scale projects at MIT's Lincoln Lab;, and then founding, growing and watching, from afar, the ultimate demise of DEC.

Excerpt from Digital Equipment co-founder's autobiography "Learn, Earn and Return"
"It was July of 1952, and I had accepted MIT's offer to come to work in their Digital Computer Lab, which at the time was part of the institute's Department of Electrical Engineering. It was widely known at the time that the lab was involved in the development of the Whirlwind Computer. Whirlwind, one of the first stored program digital computers, was similar to the ordvac—which I became familiar with while at the University of Illinois."
