editShould this article mention companies associated with the Miracle? For example Digital Equipment Corporation and Wang Laboratories

"...along Route 128, which lent its name to the region."
editPlease explain more about this. What name? How is the region named? (etc) Citations for it would do no harm either. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 21:10, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
- I see you are not from America, so I guess this isn't obvious. "128" is not just a road, it's associated so closely with high tech in these parts that it is like saying "Silicon Valley" I'll clarify a bit on the page. CSZero (talk) 23:26, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
- Sounds good. No, indeed, I'm not from the USA, hence my interest/query. Looking forward to the enhancements. I used to work for Wang Labs and Prime Computer, so I'm half familiar with the Boston area, but not the association with 128. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 23:33, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, no luck finding an exact quote but it's easily enough verifiable through googling that I'm comfortable with the wording. Where did you work for Wang? I'm from Lowell, so I had a few family members work there and drive by the old headquarters daily.

- Ah so that's what the towers look like now! That building was so easy to get lost in. Bizarre. I was in the UK and used to fly over for stupid things like one day meetings quite a lot. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 23:51, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
