In 1995 merged with COMPAQ Computer Corp, sold out its terminal buisness to SandRiver, its ALPHA CPU core technology to INTEL.

DEC was one on the significant contributors to the development of the computer technology.

DEC's ingineers were part of the BIND development team as well as implemented some of the early unix damons.

DEC's terminals are now de-facto standards.

DEC's CPU/bus technology, licensed to AMD made it possible for today's high-speed desktop PCs to appear.
