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.

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.
