Well... it didn't hurt as much as I thought it was going to..
I have just run "SHUTDN ALL" after two hours of playing with PRIMOS
(on a DEC LA120 running at 300 baud... s-l-o-w...).
My first encounter with VMS was on a Vax 6310 using a Decwriter II at 300
baud. :^)
I rescued this system about two months ago, and
finally got tired
of it taking up space.
Nice work, a Pr1me is on my want list too. Can you post a pic on web site
somewhere?
And, apropos of the Pick discussions, this machine
has INFORMATION
loaded and running... haven't messed with it yet, tho..
