PDP-11/44 boot prompt

< From: mbg(a)world.std.com (Megan) < < That's exactly how I've viewed it as well. When I told people that < my personal computer was a pdp-11/93 or a uVax system, they generally < balked at the idea, though. I've had to remind them that it is a < computer (that's never in question), and that I own it and use it. < Hence a *personal* computer... And although I didn't have one back What I called a "personal computer" In early 1975 it was an Altair8800. In 1976 I added a COSMAC ELF. In 1977 a SC/MP, Motorola 6800D1 were added. In 1978 A North*star Horizon was the mainstay s100 crate and a Technico 9900 starter board. In 1979 A Netronics explorer8085 was added to the collection. in 1980 I would add a TK80 SBC and a IMSAI IMP48. In 1981 a LSI-11 became mine. The idea of a personal computer for me is quite old and predates even the Altair. However, I would not own a "PC" (upper case denotes them IBM and clone things) of my own until 1991, even then it was an XT class clone (still have that too!)! Oh, FASWE applies with here... FASWE = First Aquired Stays With Me. Allison
