    I am familiar with the Digital European Mission which is:
                                                             
    	"To provide our customers with quality               
    	 Information Systems, Products and Services",        
                                                             
    however, I am unaware of the Corporate Mission and Objectives. 

    Can anyone enlighten me?

    The DEC Mission:
    
    "To Design, Build, and Service Low Cost Computers of Highest Quality,
    and to price them in such a way that they are affordable by everyone
    who can conceivably use a computer."

619.1	This is a dumb question I know, but ...	DPDMAI::RESENDEP	following the yellow brick road...	`Mon Sep 19 1988 16:24`	1
	... who's Gil Fair????
619.2		PIWACT::KLEINBERGER	Don't Worry, Be Happy	`Tue Sep 20 1988 09:19`	20
	Taken from a synopsis of Gil from 1984.... Gil Fair has worked for Digital for the past fifteen years and held positions in various departments throughout the company. His longevity and wide range of experience makes him uniquely qualified to provide a first hand look at DEC, its mission and history. . . . As of 1984, he held 8 different high level positions, participated in many committees and acted as a consultant in various capacities. He co-founded the DIS Programmer Trainee Program, and consulted in numerous projects, and programs in management, organizations development, and technical training. He also co-authored the original study that developed the concept of the Business Systems Analyst role at DEC. When Gil is not working at DEC, he is teaching at Boston University. . . .
619.3	Not the Gil Fair @REO, then?	DR::BLINN	Mind if we call you Bruce?	`Tue Sep 20 1988 11:58`	9
	Perhaps it is the same Gil Fair that ELF says is working over in Reading in IOSG, in which case he's probably not teaching at Boston University in his spare time. Name: GILBERT S FAIR Nickname: GIL Loc/MS: REO Phone: 830-3350 E-Mail: IOSG::FAIR Tom

	Tom.. The Synopsis that I have is from 1984... that is 4.3 years ago... it probably IS the same Gil... there can only be one of him :-)... Gale
619.5	There could only be one Gil Fair	JIMMIE::VICKERS	UI as approachable as a rabid dog	`Sun Sep 25 1988 06:58`	11
	I've extracted this topic and mailed it to Gil to ask him if he really said that. I know the Gil in IOSG and know that he's been around Digital forever. I had no idea that he taught at BU but he's strange enough to have done so. I'm still a bit miffed at him for not sharing his wine with me last week but he's still a good guy in my book for what it's worth. Keep the faith(s), Don
