A semi trailer full of every make of those old at&t unix systems; from 3B2's own up the ladder to working switchgear. We wiped them clean and put Mt. Xinu unix (BSD) on them just to tick off the at&t folks.... Funny thing was they just kept giving us more and more equipment... Kids now a days do not get to play with the 'toys' we did in college. At poker flats [1] we got to shoot off rockets into the ionosphere. Try that one today.... The father of the modern rocket [2] taught my son Multi-Variable Calculus.... Small world when you get down to it.... Want to see the latest in Mach 7 guns? cheers!
