Also I have been systems administrator at universities, and give technical support for mini-supers (Convex, now HP). I was 10 yrs at http://cwi.nl , doin office automation on a Dec 11/23, so without separate I&D space and 4 8" floppies !!! We wrote a multi user editor for 4 terminals, but when the console started with nroff, the beast started swapping on 8" floppy. We bought later an 11/34, what had the same problem as not having s&d, the researchers who were lucky had a 11/45 and later on the 2nd Vax 11/780 in Europe. After those ten years I went to SIL, who are doing ( http://sil.org ) in 6500 languages in the world, I could do programming and bringing Berkeley Unix on a 11/73 from Dec with Tex and MetaFont. We printed interlineair text, eg. Zapotec-Spanish next to each other, where the right column was the footnote! After that I did the boring part: counseling and earning (lots of) money, but that went away again because of a nasty illness I have. That is my story... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFR5te5Swirj/B524RArz5AJ0aAH8Yvc9hHSSwQ0U/2Js8TLt1xQCbBkFk HBR3HycmToKBxjf0PCu8DDE= =Qgot -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ______________________________________________ LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo.
