David L. Mills, PhD, Professor
The faculty page of David L. Mills, who among other things invented the Network Time Protocol (NTP). One of the best examples of the 'faculty page' genre I have yet seen. Old school, informative and quirky, with many references to Pogo, the old Walt Kelly comic strip. Sadly, David Mills passed away last week.

Documenting Digital
A brief hypertext history of Digital Equipment Corporation, presenting multiple timelines tracing the development of its various products and services. Appears to date from 1998 and was originally distributed on CD ROM, from what I can glean from the legal notice. Now resident on Gordon Bell's personal site.

THE DECSYSTEM-20 at Columbia University (1977-1988)
A nontechnical reminiscence written in 1988 (on the occasion of unplugging Columbia University's last DECSYSTEM-20), with links to lots of great historical information about computing at Columbia. (update 2024-02-04: Looks like Columbia has taken down most of its historic computing material. I've posted an alternate link to the DECSYSTEM-20 article that's still up for now, but most links to supporting info are now broken. The essay was originally posted here: http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/dec20.html)
