I worked on or sold all of the machines you
mentioned except the Collins.
Sold the first Eclipse Computer in Oklahoma. Worked on PDP 7. 9. 8 and 11's. Used in Process Control. Great machines but my PC is more powerful but I miss being able to control a whole plant in 16KB of memory and 256 KB of disk. -- Russ
GUI and Memory hogging kernels made this thing happen, kill those and you're set.
It'd take a lot more than that. Today's computers do far more than even the supercomputers, of not that many years ago. Many of those older computers were running one program only and often without benefit of an OS. You'd boot right into the program. No multi-tasking etc. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
