Empowering the next generation Channel

Remember when mobile phones were too big to fit in your pocket, and you had to pull up the antenna to get a signal? What about that daisy wheel printer, or that DEC Rainbow that could boot in multiple OSes including DOS. It's all at the D&H Distributing technology museum in the lobby of the company's headquarters in Harrisburg, Pa. But no need to drop what you are doing right now. Channel Insider will take you on a quick tour through technology then and now.
