I was looking at VMS manuals sometime in 1978... we were
evaluating the HP3000, Prime 550, VAX 11/780, and DG Eclipse
(Campus Computer Usage Committee).

Prime one.

Well, for a birthyear computer, anyone know where I
can find a slightly-used IBM 709? I used to have the
IBM 711 Card Reader and 716 Line Printer...

<sob!>
