Re: /real/ programmers...
Oh, tush!
How many of you "newbies" ever booted up a PDP 11/40 from the panel
switches? And that only worked it you had the
bootstrap board option intalled. Why, it had real diodes on it! And
(wait for it!) it ran an new non DEC operating system called UNIX if
you afford to pay AT & T about $10,000 for a tape. (I asked, back in
1976!) For that you needed at least 64Kb of core memory (Yeah, I said
core memory!) and at least one 2.5 Mb RK05 disk drive, to say nothing of
a tape. (There may have been a paper tape option, but I don't remember
...)
And do any of you /real/programmers recall RSX 11 sysgens?
SET TTY=/COFFEEBREAK
And if any of you want to start a museum, for a reasonable fee I'll part
will my first LSI 11 motherboard, hanging on the wall behind me ...
Yuk! Let's get back to pthreads ...
