Selling a scientist his first computer involves certain responsibilities. To educate, for example, not only on the specific machine that he buys, but on computers in the laboratory in general. The scientist must learn how to use them, what may be expected of the machine, what is expected of him, and how the methods of the laboratory are changed by the very fact that he can now handle data at computer speeds. Because we have made scientific computers for 8 years now — thousands of them —-and, frankly, because we sell scientists their second, third and fourth computers as well, we have accepted these responsibilities with gusto. We publish books — more books than some small book publishers — and not just the handbooks that go with the machines, either. Primers in scientific computers. Scientific
applications papers. "How to . . ." books for putting laboratory instrumentation together. We give courses, not only on how to work with a specific machine, but on how to use scientific computers, how to connect an experiment to a machine, how to hook up the instrumentation, how to analyze the results. And we give lectures, not only in Maynard, but at universities, at the invitation of universities,in our field offices, and at users group meetings. DECUSCOPE speaks for the second most active computeruser's society in the world, where the exchange of information, techniques, and even programs is an exciting tribute to the cooperation among scientists everywhere. Our commitment to help educate is a serious one, and also one of the most rewarding aspects of our business. We're doing more of it, and will do still more in the future.
