1982.. 1982? What do they use here?
I've heard constant rumours of a PDP-11 :)
I've been told they're VAXen, although if they run VMS the hardware could now be Alphas or Itanics. (RIP VMS)
A former colleague went to work for the company that does some of this kit, according to him one of the problems they had was the staff/union refusing to accept any change in UI so they needed to develop a text-based UI that was identical to the old systems, including for the visualisations. _______________________________________________ luv-talk mailing list luv-talk@lists.luv.asn.au http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-talk
