I learned pascal on a VAX at University. But we only saw a terminal. The machine was in a closed room with a glass window.
I worked in that "closed room with a glass window". When my company built the computer room, they installed windows all along a hall that ran along side, so they could show off the systems to visitors. I worked on a variety of systems over the years, starting with Data General Nova 800 & PDP-8i. I later moved onto Data General Eclipse, DEC PDP-11, Collins 8500C, VAX 11/780, various Pr1me models and others. In all that, there was also one, count 'em, one XT clone! ;-) I took Electrical Engineering at night school, where we used an IBM mainframe, but I did my FORTRAN homework on a VAX at work. I could dial in from home to do it. By the time I got to IBM, I was doing software support on ThinkPads and desktop systems. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
