| 183.1 | Wang, not DEC | LEHIGH::MCKINLEY | | Thu Sep 04 1986 10:17 | 4 |
| He visited Wang Labs in Lowell, Mass. I doubt that they demonstrated
DECTalk, probably they used the Wang equivalent.

| Check out today's Boston Globe p. 16 "Prince makes friends during
busy day of tours".
' The prince, who was visiting Boston for the first time, began
the day at Wang Laboratories in Lowell, where he met founder, chairman
and chief executive officer An Wang.
Employees demonstrated Wang's Professional Image computer, using
a photograph that depicts Charles in second place in a steeplechase
race. The computer removed the image of the frontrunning horse
and rider, thus showing the prince in first place.
"That's the way to alter the course of history," Charles said. "I
always wondered how newspapers did that".
...I understand that he chose to visit Lowell to talk about industrial
solutions for depressed urban areas, and Lowell was chosen because
it has a great deal in common with some of England's depressed urban
cities.

| whoops, pardon the redundancy "urban cities", meant to say urban
*areas*...

| 183.4 | Harvard's son: An Wang | ELWOOD::MCCARREN | | Thu Sep 04 1986 18:03 | 5 |
| One other possible explanation, besides the Lowell renewal project,
is the long connection between Harvard and An Wang. Seems logical,
anyway....

| 183.5 | Wang's new plant in Scotland | GALLO::AMARTIN | Alan H. Martin | Thu Sep 04 1986 21:08 | 5 |
| It was claimed on Ch4 WBZ-TV's news that the Prince wanted to visit
Wang because Wang had recently opened a plant in Scotland.
Is it bigger than Digital's plant in Ayr?

| There's not a chance Wang's plant is bigger than Ayr.
BTW, DEC has more employees at DECpark, Reading, than WANG has in all of Europe.

| The Wang plant in Sterling, Scotland is not bigger than DEC's in
Ayr, however, Prince Charles, did open the Sterling plant while
George Younger, the current minister of defence in the UK, opened
the Ayr plant.
If he was looking for an inner city renewal project is not what
DEC has done with the Boston plant much better than any Wang example

| 183.9 | PC Also at Dana Farber | BM1GSG::GROLLMAN | GSG Systems Engineering | Thu Sep 25 1986 19:20 | 7 |
| PC visited the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. They are a fairly
large DEC shop. I have no idea of what was actually demonstrated, but the
employees in the laboratory areas (blood, etc.) were told to dress
appropriately. The labs are automated with DEC and HP equipment, but all
the record keeping is on a cluster.
