A celebration of 20 years of 36bit computing at DEC was held at the
Fall DECUS in 1984. In 1992 Clive Dawson made a transcript of the
36bit Pioneers Round Table which made it onto Joe Smith's site. Some
of you may have attended or seen the actual footage of the event or
maybe you did not know that it even existed.

Part 1 starts here: https://toobnix.org/w/o2MGV5zKtkfftAXvw9DQUk

You can find parts 2 as well as the excellent 36bit Trivia Bowl between
the STACKED DEC and the BIT BUSTERS teams as well as seperately
transferred (DEC produced) "a word from our sponsor" segments which
spoof 4 well known tv commercials. The video was transferred from
a UMATIC dub and processed using Topaz Labs Video AI Enhance (*boggle*)

Moderated by Clive Dawson and Reed Powell
