Some "girly boys", who weren't manly enough to use PDP-11 assembly, wrote a little (JavaScript) browser extension called "Discord"; it's IRC on steroids; popular on Reddit; gamers love it too; and, get this, it's only worth 1.65$ billion... losers ! !

Jeff Relf exists only as an example of "worst case scenario."

Yes, Relf still hasn't learned proper Usenet manners, crossposting an existing thread to unrelated groups. As to last time I saw a PDP-11, yesterday. Sort of. I happen to have a "PDP-11" integrated circuit, a Soviet clone of an F-11 chip. Back from the days where PDP-11s and VAXen were export controlled but the USSR would smuggle them and copy them.

Back from >the days where PDP-11s and VAXen were export controlled but the USSR >would smuggle them and copy them. I still have an S-100 board built on the Western Digital version of that chip, a WD-16 Alpha Micro, and its successor, a still-working MC-68000 version of the same brand of computer. Programmed both in Macro-11. (The 68000 instruction set was quite similar.) In the early '80s one could simulate a PC on the MC-68000 faster than a PC would run. Today the reverse is true. -- Goat

When was the last time you saw a PDP-11? Double-A

Remember the Datapoint computers? I wrote some programs in its assembly language. I also wrote some programs in its business oriented Databus language. But alas, they were a couple of many skill sets I learned that I never found any later use for! Such as the IBM Series/1 EDL language. Double-A

But alas, they were a couple of many skill sets I learned that I never found any later use for! Such as the IBM Series/1 EDL language. First programming job, at age 15, was in Databus on a Datapoint in a medical lab. Took results from a reference lab in NC, on paper tape off a Terminet, lab values from a SMA12, also on paper tape, and keypunched haemo stuff and put it all together to make lab reports. Used cassette tape. Clack, clack. Didn't pay that much, but a hell of a lot of fun for a kid. -- Goat

Sometimes a drive would malfunction and the tape would get tangled up! Double-A
