i grew up with all of these as a little boy at the UCSB computer lab in Santa Barbara, California learned to program in C, Unix and VMS it was the start of a long career in tech 😊 these machines have a special place in my memory and heart thanks for posting! 🌞😍

In grad school, in the 1980s, I used a Unix emulator called EUNICE on a VAX 11/780.

Oh my .. 11/780 .. used this back in the early 1980s at Brighton Poly. Sat in the VT100/200 rooms coding Pascal and then The Gandalf would log you off having filled the type ahead buffer whilst your code was ingested for compilation. Such Fun!!!
