Nice arrangment, but what's behind the racks? RP0xs????
I think I've just had 'a moment' :)
So that's what they're calling it now. ;)
None of our workshop people know DEC stuff these days, it's down to me and
the directors. I'm the official company bloke in charge of 'old stuff'
(ES47? Old? Kinnell) and trying to explain to the youngsters how DEC got
into the bloodstream and you would move mountains to save PDP11s pretty much
fell on deaf ears, they're all PC types now.
I showed them this pic while I was frothing at the mouth and they all said
'I bet my phone has more power than that'. This is the sole reason we need
to keep going!
Which is an utterly banal remark we are all tired of hearing. The worst
part is, none of them have the knowledge to justify the assertion. Let's
pray none of them go into software, or they will need 8-core Xeons with
96GB to run their crappy products.
