In the early 2000s, I had a gig at AccuWeather rewriting from the ground up a non-weather web application. My work was on Windows 2000. They bought me a new Dell server for that purpose had let me have at it. But at that time, all of their main machines were VAX VMS - including their weather web servers.
Even then it caused me to reminisce on time spent on DEC VT100 and VT220s in the graduate terminal room at CMU.
Anyone remember the DEC Rainbow? My local university where I took classes during high school had some. Great keyboards just like the VT terminals.
DEC keyboards where the benchmark against which I compared all other since - most came up wanting.
