4714.0. "Digital cameo on Primetime Live" by LABC::HA () Thu Jul 11 1996 14:42

    I saw a Digital system used by some sports doctor in Los Angeles who
    does drug testing on Olympic athletes - it was on a segment on
    Primetime Live last night.  The monitor had the burgundy Digital logo
    and it was sitting on top of what looked like a 3 slot Storageworks
    box.  Too bad they didn't get more of a close-up of the computer ...

    Actually this was a 1 GHz Alpha. It was under scrutiny by this
    department to look for any doping under its cover because the
    competition didn't believe its 1.0 BegaFlops ;-).

        It was the over-developed Spectorals that gave it away...
          (Since we're the leader in silicone, remember...? :-)
      
4714.3Also had good coverage in cell phone scamLJSRV2::LANGFri Jul 12 1996 07:457
    A Digital laptop also figured prominantly in a news section on cellular
    telephone fraud.  The news camera panned across a field of cellular
    telephones (prosumably with intercepted access numbers programmed into
    them).  The backdrop was a number of Digital highnote laptop computers
    (presumably used to do  the programming).

    gee, and there was a PDP-11/70 on that Internet program on Channel 44
    last night.  They tried to turn it on, but apparently someone had
    unplugged it.
