Fortunately, > that's easy to fix on Unix/Linux and MacOs systems. At least the shift, enter, and backspace keys are back where they belong. I remember sitting down at a SPARC workstation and trying to type in something. I reached for the left-hand shift key and wound up hitting the extra key between it and the Z key. I reached for the backspace key to correct it and hit something else again. I managed to catch myself before hurling the keyboard at the wall, maintaining the presence of mind to get up and walk back to my desk, where I telnetted into the SPARC from my own terminal. Then all I had to do was keep track of whether I was working with SysV or BSD: "Hey, the ps command isn't working right!" "That's because you're logged into the SPARC."

Indeed they did - The Rainbow PC-100 from 1982 was a dual-CPU version with a VT220 like screen. It had a Z80 to run CP/M and an 8088 to run MS-DOS. An engineer would say that with 896 KB of RAM it was superior to the IBM-PC; but it did not have an ISA bus, so it would never be clone-level compatible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_100 But in my opinion, the DecMate based on a single-chip PDP-8 was a much superior PC for office use. -- Lars Poulsen - an old geek in Santa Barbara, California

I remember when a local Microsoft guy came to tell us all about this newfangled thing called OS/2, he insisted that the 640kiB limit was something fundamental to MS-DOS, and not an IBM PC hardware limitation at all. I pointed out to him that there was a machine just on the floor above the hall where we were, that proved him wrong if he wanted to take a look.

Another problem is DEC attempted to capture the diskette sales with a proprietary format available only from them at a much higher cost than generic Elephant or Memorex diskettes.

DEC was still living in the mini > world. We had a couple of dedicated word processors from an outfit called AES. (Remember the era of the dedicated word processor?) They did the same trick with diskettes. However, we had an option that would let the machines run CP/M - and FORMAT.COM would happily format any diskette in a way that the word processor liked. (And these were 5 1/4-inch hard-sectored diskettes - Dysan made them at the time, and sold them for half of what AES wanted for their preformatted diskettes.) -- /~\ Charlie Gibbs | In this world there are \ / <cgibbs@kltpzyxm.invalid> | two kinds of people: X I'm really at ac.dekanfrus | 1.

Ugly as in lacking the eye candy that just gets in the way, and boring as in it Just Works without any unpleasant surprises. It's too bad that fast, efficient, easy-to-use designs have gone out of style, having been replaced by increasing layers of complexity that make systems cumbersome and prone to failure. (But they're awfully pretty...) I'm seeing more and more breakdowns that remind me of E.M. Forster's 1909 story "The Machine Stops".

Flying in the early 2010s, peeked at the display of the attendants
desktop at checkin: Some sort of Windows, but 90% of the screen was
occupied by a (IIRC) 3270 terminal emulator connected to the airline's
system and clearly showing a typical mainframe app.

Indeed. Just the learning curve is a bit steeper than most people these
days are used to.

Bingo! IIRC the airline was Lufthansa and they were indeed a longtime
user of that system from what I could find.

Wholeheartedly agree. I'm very much a child of the commandline, my primary
email client is mutt, my newsreader is slrn and my idea of a graphical user

Indeed.
Kind regards,

Nowadays we have millions of users on social media simultaneously, but that request/response paradigm is no longer sufficient for the real-time interaction requirements.

It still makes sense and that is borne out in hardware design. We haven't
flipped back to polled I/O because "CPUs are faster than we know what to
do with", quite the opposite: modern GPUs offload most the fancy 3D graphics
processing (originally, these days it's also a lot of matrix math for AI),
modern NICs offer a lot of offload (modern DC NICs are full on computers
running Linux and e.g. handle network traffic encryption on their own,
see e.g. NVidia Bluefield DPUs) and so on.

The "Unix serial terminal" model never applied to web interactive traffic,
that was always running on the "smart terminal doing local edits - mainframe
style" model. Mostly because that's a lot easier to implement and also it
scales a lot better.
Kind regards,

Or, to put it another way, multiple CPU cores have become so commonplace that it is no longer considered a big deal to “waste” some of them busy-waiting without bogging down others that are doing actual useful work.
