Tim,
I remember TECO and I don't consider myself old. :)
Remember the old RSTS/E magazine? I remember once there was an issue with a
photograph of a Teco truck on the cover and everyone was asked to write in
and guess why it said Teco.
PDP-11 running macro-11 and DEC FORTRAN on RT-11. Now that was fun. I
remember sitting around our very first 5MB multi-platter Kennedy hard drive
with some other developers and we were all telling each other how we could
NEVER fill up 5 megabytes. Our problems were over...
Heh heh
