Growing up in Southern NH circa 1980 the area was full of minicomputer vendors that didn't make the transition to micros. Digital Equipment Corporation was the big one with the PDP-10, PDP-11 and VAX-11 (not to mention the PDP-8 that makes the 6502 look like a great instruction set) but I saw plenty of Wang, particularly dedicated word processors. When I was in elementary school, the high school I later attended had a lab of Wang word processors. I remember seeing Wang signs by the highway driving to Boston and by the late 1980s when I was in high school the Computer Explorers occasionally took a field trip to a Wang office west of town.
