    The fourth exhibit of Digital's Historical Collection Program will
    officially open on Friday, April 28, from 2:00-4:00 in the lobby
    of Digital's HLO2 facility, Hudson, MA. All employees are invited
    to attend.
    
    Bob Palmer, Vice-president and Group Manager, Semiconductor Operations,
    will inaugurate the exhibit, which details VLSI history at Digital
    since 1972.  The exhibit includes the art of VLSI design, the
    significant contribution of CAD tools and the history of chip
    manufacturing process advancements.
    
    Employees are welcome to visit the other exhibits sponsored by the
    Historical Collection Program. The lobby of MRO2 (Marlboro, MA)
    houses an exhibit on Digital business and product history since
    1957, and the history of the VAX family of computers is displayed
    in the lobbies of Digital's Boxboro facilities, BXB1 and BXB2.

	Does anyone know exactly where the other three exhibits are and what they contain? (Obviously one is at the Mill, I'd guess there's another one in Marlboro somewhere -- I'm looking for exact details as in .0 for each of the other three.) /john P.S.: The exhibit in the HLO2 lobby is worth seeing, but not worth a special trip.

	There is an exhibit in the lobby of LTN1. It is a recreation of a circa 1965 mill office, complete with oily floors, wooden bookcases, and old manuals and modules. The spider isn't real.

766.9		ELMST::MACKIN	Question Reality	`Wed Apr 12 1989 22:14`	3
	The exhibit in MR02 might be worth a visit if you're in the area. I was blown away the first time I saw it. Very professional ... actually better layout than the Boston Computer museum. In my humble opinion.

	The lobby of MRO2 was the location of The Computer Museum before it moved to Boston. jb
