I system managed VAX 11/780 serial 000047 in 1979. The original
order was for 256K memory, but we upped it to 768K (3/4 MB) before
delivery. It ran the complete computing of the company, including
six programmers, and we sold time on it to at least four other
high tech Cambridge companies - Shape Data, GDS, Nine Tiles, and
whatever Dick Newell_s company was called at the time (CIS?).
It's a small world. I work for what used to be Shape Data, know Tony Ibbs
who used to work at Laser-Scan, and Andrew Kelly, formerly of Nine Tiles.
