DEC invented spam 30 years ago

Those were the days!

I remember working on DECSYSTEM 10's and 20's in DEC Storage engineering when I was an FE 27 years ago. Then I was the first FE in Colorado trained on the 11780 to get it up and running for the storage engineers to get the first RH780's for the RP series drives up and running. As well DW780 that supported the UDA50 which was for the RA storage drives. Those were heady days for DEC. Man I miss those days. Back in the days when FE's still used oscilloscopes and replaced chips.
