What does PDP stands for in PDP-8?
PDP stands for Programmed Data Processor. Therefore, it means Programmed Data Processor-8. :p
Who helped build the PDP series of mini-computers for DEC?
Gordon Bell

What was the first computer program gates Allen ever wrote?
While still in high school, Bill Gates used a teletype terminal connected to a 'GE Computer' to write a tic-tac-toe program, according to Wikipedia. Their next computer was a DEC PDP computer, and their programming language was BASIC.
What was the first virus detected in arpanet?
by Khalid BetaniA computer virus is a computer program that can replicate itself. The Creeper virus was first detected on ARPANET, the forerunner of the Internet, in the early 1970s. Creeper was an experimental self-replicating program written by Bob Thomas at BBN Technologies in 1971. Creeper used the ARPANET to infect DEC PDP-10 computers running the TENEX operating system. Creeper gained access via the ARPANET and copied itself to the remote system where the message, "I'm the creeper, catch me if you can!" was displayed. The Reaper program was created to delete Creeper.

Which was the worlds first mini computer?
That is usually credited to the DEC PDP-8
Who is Peter Samson?
A volunteer at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA that worked on their DEC PDP-1 computer restoration project.While at MIT in the 1960s he worked on several things on their DEC PDP-1 computer:the background moving starfield for Spacewar!computer musicetc.
When was the first desktop computer made?
One can probably consider the DEC PDP-8 transistorized minicomputer introduced in 1965 to be a desktop computer. The first PDP-8 model was about the size of a modern compact refrigerator, but later models were significantly smaller (especially when simple monolithic integrated circuits were used instead of discrete transistors).

Who made the first computer game?
Steve Russell on the DEC PDP-1. The game was named "SPACEWAR!".

What is 12 bit microprocessor?
The DEC PDP-8 is a 12 bit computer. A 12 bit computer is one where the accumulator and/or bus size is 12 bits.

What was the the first computer game called?
SPACEWAR! (the exclamation mark is part of the name) It ran on a 4K word DEC PDP-1 computer that cost about $120,000. The program was written by Steve Russell at MIT. Torpedos were unaffected by the sun's gravity because he ran out of memory and had to leave out those routines. I was able to witness the reincarnation of SPACEWAR! when I helped the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA restore 1 of their 3 PDP-1s to full operation.
