My first job at General Dynamics in Fort Worth, Texas during 1982. Cut my teeth on a Vax/VMS 750. Then 780, and I think 8000. Migrated years later to Ultrix (Dec flavor of Unix).

Horrible shame how that company was run into the ground. by Compaq and HP. Great pioneers.

It was a tragedy. Ultrix eventually became OSF/1. The best version of UNIX ever created.
