Dave,
Huh? Well, maybe from the quadcore terabyte Internet connected 3dHD
graphics
point of view.
No, from a connect-ten-terminals-and-a-few-modems point of view.
With 8KW you
need a really old copy of RT11 maybe V3 or V2 and it would
not do much.
Heck Allison, RT11 v4 and v5 don't do much either! ;) So RT11V5..useless no, not at all.
I never said it was. I just said it doesn't do much, which is true.
It's a bit more capable than CP/M. Wonderful and fantastic for
single-user, single-terminal work...but that's about it.
My only experience with PDP-11 systems in production at work years
ago was multitasking, multiuser applications, so that's where my
interests lie. For single-user, single-tasking stuff, I'm a CP/M guy.
That said, I do use RT11 quite a bit, but my primary PDP-11-related
interests lie with the "bigger" OSs and system configurations.
This is a matter of point of view, yes...but from a RSTS/E and
RSX-11M point of view, not a "quadcore terabyte Interet connected 3dHD"
point of view. You should know me better than that by now.
