In 1982 it was a Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-11/64 my senior year in high school. When I went to college it was a CDC-6000 shared with the MA state government. When I went to work for Digital Equipment Corporation, it was VAX machines. I didn’t see a PC until around 1996.

About the same for me. I was writing a book - on a typewriter! The editing was killing me. Word processors were tempting, but even I could see they would quickly become the dodo bird.

Starting in 1982, I cut my teeth on a VAX 780. I used other models of VAX through 1994 working for
General Dynamics - Fort Worth Division: Now Lockheed Martin
Martin Marietta - Orlando: Now Lockheed Martin
General Electric - Aircraft Engines: Now GE Aviation
Good quality machines and a terrible legacy for what happened to them. Shame on Compaq and Hewlett Packard.
