I had a great pleasure besides working for Ken Olsen, meeting both Ken and Aulikki socially, too. I am a Finn as were late Aulikki Olsen, and we met in Boston Finnish Association parties.

Yes, Aulikki was instrumental in founding Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). While Ken was still employed with MIT, Aulikki was the chairperson of DEC’s board for a short period of time. It was her decision to use all lower case letters and the blue color in “digital” logo.
