Dear me, all you youngsters prattling on about these new-fangled
"microprocessors". The first system I managed was a PDP-11/45. It took
up several cabinets and I clearly remember when we got the Head of
Department to spring for a 256kb (that's kilobytes, grasshopper)
solid-state RAM upgrade from Plessey *which all fit on a single 19"
Unibus card* (the DEC support guy wouldn't believe it). It cost 3000
pounds. Our removable media were RK05 disks of 2.4MB (wow!) about a foot
across.

BTW, this system supported 12 users on video terminals.
