The ad must have worked. Although our uni was the first in Australia to provide 11/780's
for teaching and research, in later years third year comp sci was moved to a new Gould
PN6080, because they got a good deal. Everyone just called it "the Gould".

It's so hard to find a picture of this machine, a while ago I found an eBay ad for the
PowerNode series which was about all I have.
