You'll get a laugh out of this... My original system used a PDP-11/40 with
a whopping 10 MB of hard disk.


I still have my PDP10 programming manual. Jeez, I --AM-- OLD!:-)

Yes; Bob had a great idea.

I suspect it will take 30 years (from now) to do this properly, get all the
birdies out; get a nice patch of land in Arizona or Utah; build the
system;find ET's; and so on.

Pioneering doesn't seem like that to contemporaries. We all need lasik!

As I recall from circa 1970, the Digital Equipment tiny-biny was the
programmable data processor, PDP 8. I remember Schlumberger having in
its Houston Headquarters a PDP 10, The PDP 10 was a rather large number
cruncher which could be used for scientific purposes as well as for
business applications. I think they ran both FORTRAN and COBOL.

My employer tried Raytheon 704`s for minicomputers, then switched to
Digital Equipment VAX machines. They worked well.
