I once dated a
girl who was a DEC geek (she grew up
around PDPs), and she wanted to have, erm, "physical
relations" atop my VAX 8700.
Now we know the "real" reason the Cray-1 was C-shaped.
A whole new classification of computers!
- if you can have physical relations inside it, it's
a mainframe
- if you can have physical relations on top of it,
it's a mini-computer
- if you can get involved with someone who would
like to test those characteristics you're amazingly
lucky
