MM>Trivia: (Mention of the fingers reminded me)
MM>        What letters are missing in the DEC Alphabet? And where is that
MM>        alphabet used? And why are those letters missing?

There are two alphabets:
 
 Used letters in 1st:A,B,G,K,M,R,S,W

colors of flipchip handles Amber Blue Green blacK Magenta, Red, Strong red 
(driving power, not color) and White

or do you mean Used Letters: S,L,I,M,E,A, the PDP-8 family

Or KA KI KL designators of the DecSystem 10?

or could you mean ABCDEF, not used in Octal

Trivia Questions in return: What do the following series of numbers mean:
               2,3,13,17,18,19,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29 and what do the 
numbers 14 and 16 have in common?

> numbers 14 and 16 have in common?

They look like the numbers NOT used to designate computer families.

        2,3,          13,   17,18,19,  21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29
