Nice find. Relatedly I found this brief history of DEC: From: http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Digital_Equipment_Corp.asp...

>There was virtually no organizational structure during Digital’s early years because Olsen was committed to creating an environment much like the research labs at MIT. A temporary position as liaison between MIT and IBM in 1959 convinced Olsen that the hierarchy at companies like IBM did not allow for creativity and the flow of ideas.

Sound familiar to anyone here?
