Of course mapper was tremendous; it ran on the 1108. I was a Exec 8 (refuse
to call it the 1100 series OS, sorry) systems programmer on Univac
1106/1108/1110s (not to mention Exec 2 on the 1107 and a little bit on an
1100/42). It still lives on, sort of, in the 2200.
I've also run/ran/administered Solaris, BSD, and many variants of System 5
since about 1980, as well as a bunch of other OSes on machines mighty, mini,
and micro, real-time and unreal-time; right now my kitchen table is covered
with bits and pieces from a RedHat 9.0 file server who's CPU quit. I'm also
well aware that Linux systems run by amateur sysadms are too often easily
hackable, and even those run by professionals get hit sometimes - been
there, done that, chrooted BIND after the kiddie hacked the DNS server
through the patch I missed. I'm writing this on a WinXP machine
135K spams and viruses blocked today is about a mid-size regional ISP.
Nothing too special...
But, what does this have to do with TenTec? What shade red dots are on
their covers?
