I miss those days. I worked in the Compute department for the DOT and we were always getting proof of concept hardware and some of it ended up under my desk.

Boss has a Dec laptop that was _thin_ (Digital Hi Note?)

We had a Dec Alpha running an early version of Windows NT

I had a Dec PC that started out as a 486, then got a Pentium 120 upgrade daughter card. (possibly this one, though that looks like a Mid tower and the one I had was full-sized) http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/43316/Digital-Persona...

Nowadays...your expansion slots are used for your GPU and....well....maybe a better WiFi card?

We sold quite a bit of those Dec alphas with nt! (Source: I was a qa intern)
