In my experience a sugar laden cup of coffee into a keyboard gives some strange results. You may not loose the ability to "spe proper y ike Car os," But instead get the keys sticking on when you do hammer them free enough to type.

Blimey I didn't think there would be many DEX Vax left running.
Having said that I was taken back a few years at a customers the other day. They had a fully functioning MicroVAX and a PDP 11/23 - or maybe it was an 11/73. Ah those were the days...when people wrote code in assembler and not this crappy visual bloatware... LOL

I spent a summer during my University years writing code because they were about to chuck a Vax in the skip and needed replacement stuff for their PCs.

Ah yes, I remember those PDP machines from way back. I hated VMS with a passion- it was far clunkier than almost anything else.
When the VAX vacuum cleaners were launched, we quickly realised "Nothing sucks like a VAX" ![]()

When you need an 'l', try typing the ALT-0108 combination.

One of my first programming homework assignments at university was on an LSI-11. The school's computer was a PDP 11/70. I was rather fond of them, with their RSX-11M operating system.

Are any of the members on here females?
