"SURF'S-UP" AT DIGITAL PC HOME PAGE

PC Business Unit Unveils Dynamic Interactive Home Page; Celebrates with
Quarterly Drawings for HiNote Notebook Computers

MAYNARD, Mass., Aug. 29, 1995 -- Digital Equipment Corporation today
announced the formal launch of its Digital PC home page on the Internet,
designed for prospective customers, key partners, and users and resellers
of the company's PC products around the world. Exploiting the latest
interactive technology, the Digital PC World Wide Web site at
http://www.pc.digital.com is fast, easy to navigate and highly intuitive.

At the Digital PC home page, users can navigate the site and step into the
wider world of interactivity as easily as stepping into their own
backyards. A magazine-like format features vivid graphics and logical,
intuitive text for obtaining late-breaking news and product information,
customer service and support, free software device driver updates and
details about purchasing Digital PCs. The Digital PC home page also
includes a variety of "HotLinks" to additional Digital Web sites, partner
sites and other useful resources at several popular Web sites on the
Internet.

Digital will celebrate the unveiling of its new Web site with quarterly
drawings, offering a Digital HiNote notebook computer to lucky site
visitors* randomly chosen from those who register in the home page's
online "Guest Book." Visitors can also sign up to participate in future
online electronic surveys, enabling Digital to conduct "just-in-time"
customer and market research. The company plans to offer a variety of
other contests in the future and activities of interest to the broad range
of Digital PC users visiting the company's Web site.

"The Digital PC home page is a natural evolution from our pioneering
efforts on the Internet and long history of networking expertise -- as
well as our strength in the PC market," said Stephan A. Gray, vice
president of communications and marketing services for Digital's Personal
Computer Business Unit. "Digital has created a hub of information and
activity for PC users that starts with the familiarity of a neighborhood
but extends to the far-reaching corners of the world."
