This is when I went to the U of D...I remember those Zenith terminals were
in most labs. I checked years later, "..any old Dec stuff in storage
someplace?" all of this stuff is long gone except for one Dec Line printer
II in the kitchenette of the Comp Sci annex building on West Main St.
I did get a few little DEC things, here's one:

I have a few ethernet cards from the pictured systems with the hard-coded
Ethernet addresses.

Do you know Ernie Perez, Bob Mader, or Mike Santiago? They all helped
me quite a bit by feeding me hardware, distribution tapes, and
information when I was in my teen years. Ernie and Bob are in some of
those pictures.
When I first got my driver license my then-girlfriend and I would
drive down to Ernie's place in DE to hack on PDP-11s and watch movies.

Nice time when people could be friends and not be accused of
pedophily...
