I'll have you know, sir, that much of that "antiquated technology" is
driving my intranet, and I'm darn proud to have it! I trust the MicroVAX
III's and SPARC IPX's I have a lot more than I do much of the
"commodity"
PeeCee hardware that's flooded the market.
Wait a minute, you're running part of your Intranet on *non-DEC* gear? What
is the matter with you? All the servers on mine are DEC! Um, hate to nit-pick, but I'd like to see an old
DEC box with over a hundred
users when it's only got 64K of RAM :^)
Well, I -was- referring to the base operating system. ;-) RSTS/E 7.x
loaded nicely, with its libraries, in about 56K. The machine itself was an
11/34A with 128KWord (256KByte) total.
