Data
General Corporation
Founded in 1968, Data General was the second largest minicomputer
company in the world at one time. EMC's purchase of DG in 1999
(oops, I mean "merger") primarily for the DG CLARiiON disk
line has stalled DG's slide into obscurity.
It's been a fun 40+ year ride.

NADGUG
This is the official "North American Data General User's
Group" web site. Although titled "North American",
it is really the international users' group, a reality that was finally
reflected in a change to its bylaws a few years ago.
Note that NADGUG officially dissolved in
October, 2001.
We are now the official archivist for NADUGU -check our NADGUG
page for full details.
