Who wants to play? I am "My devoted personal groomer"...... lol
Reminds me of skinny ties. When I was 13 or so, and starting to wear ties more often, I wanted what was in fashion then. Those wide paisley ties and similar. I got some of those but my Dad gave me a bunch of his skinny ties from the '40's. I told him nobody will wear them again. He said they'll be fashionable again you just wait and see. Sure enough they came roaring back in the '80'sYou know that because the truism, "everything old is new again," is true that glam rock, and all that went with it, will make a comeback.
Sounds like a lesson taught by Florida Man.
Talk about a blast from the past. I can remember working on their POS systems back in the day. All MicroVAXs.
All MicroVAXs.
You're not the only one. DEC wasn't the first computer I worked with but it was the first major computer OEM. We had PDP-11's on drilling rigs. Engineering and manufacturing shared a 11/785 cluster. The only place you saw IBM was accounting/finance.I still miss DEC, though. I cut my programming teeth on a DEC PDP-10 and had a VAX at my first real job.
