Well my computer room at work was originally designed
to house our
DECsystem-10 (long departed) and had red carpeted floor tiles (I assume to
contrast against the blue of the -10) and the bright orange/yellow chairs
(the '70s have a lot to answer for, along with my boss who chose the
colours). The carpet was removed sometime later and replaced with vynal
tiles as DEC FS claimed the dust from the carpets was causing head crashes
on the RP05s
The Honeywell DPS-8 I worked on from 1990-93 had red carpeted floor tiles
also. They'd probably had the same tiles since the early 70's. That was
one _EVIL_ looking tile puller :^)
