who here already worked with these ?

I'm too young for any of the machines on the page (can't believe I get 
to say *that* !).

I learned on good 'ole Cyber 70 systems using DecWriters (in college).

My first job I programmed basic on TRS-80 with separate disk drives 
which always went out of alignment and then had disk i/o errors.  Later 
that year I got to work on my first PDP; PDP11-28 running Unix (bsd?). 
I got to play dungeon and dragons in my spare time :)

Am I aging myself?  Oh yeah... fun stuff.
