The best part was when they gave an entire class of 250 CS students one ancient Pyramid to compile their C code on. Compile times of 30 minutes and more for hello world were not unheard of. Thanks UIUC.
- joezydeco 8y agoI was on that Pyramid too. uxa.cso.uiuc.edu for life, yo. The key was having some kind of terminal and modem back at the dorm so you could log into the system after the labs were closed. You literally had the entire machine to yourself all night long. =)
- felixgallo 8y agoI managed to sneak onto uxb and uxc. My modem was for PLATO avatar and empire. :)
- flyinghamster 8y agoOh, God yes. That poor old 90x just couldn't keep up. The Sequent Balance 8000 (6-way SMP circa 1985!) was vastly better.
