Ha. My dad was VP engineering at Vydec for a while. I worked there for a summer, and used the Vydec to write a Pascal course (which I taught there). It had a great vector display, nice keyboard. It had 8” floppy disks. I think they were selling for $10k. I remember seeing my first sealed 20Mb “Winchester” hard drive there, which would be incorporated soon. Nicely designed, advanced word processors for their time. Dad told me about the time he met with Francis Ford Coppola who wanted to buy a bunch for Apocalypse Now. Exxon Information Systems bought them around then, and there was a management bloodbath. My dad initially got more responsibility as his bosses got the axe, but he saw the writing on the wall and left for DEC. Wang soon destroyed them in the market.
