I had to use a VAX at my first job out of school. In 2004. 1MB of RAM? That's a square foot of removable circuitry. 4MB max. It still had DEC labelled on it. The guy who wrote the software ... 20 years prior ... was still at the company. "I got my degree for this shit?" I'm glad I'm not there anymore.
That was my reaction when I walked into the door. I felt defeated. Literally, "I went to college for this shit?"
Luckily, the USN got their shit together and said "We aint funding this shit anymore unless you give it at 30-year fucking upgrade." Well now, just how fast did these idiots come up with a single computer rack with complete and total leagues of capability out of the same thing with 20% physical footprint.
