ibm 4381 running vm/cms - best platform ever. beautiful hardware, wonderful operating system, brilliant documentation.
- justanother 4y agoOne of my first ("borrowed") internet accounts was on VM/XA SP around 1991. Yeah you had to hit CTRL-Z to clear your screen, but I was actually amazed at how friendly this machine was (and it would happily spit out pages and pages of helpful documentation), given that it was an "IBM mainframe." It was quite the experience learning to navigate the nascent internet and BITNet of the time on that thing.
