If I remember correctly, people called the pdp-10, at my university, ''10-eren'' back in the 80'ies, where it was still running?
Actually, the pride of the university at the time ...

Anyway, at least when it was bought in the mid 70ies.
People were running Pascal, Fortran, Cobol (oh no) and Lisp - and probably a lot more - on it.

The pdp-11 was then the mini computer (Sic!) in the installation.
And fast forward to 1990, I think we had a book called something like
PDP-11 assembler language programming and machine organization in one course?
Cant find it (the book) anymore,
and surely thought all the pdp-11 machines and alike mini computers were gone by now.
But clearly not :-) In the picture a VAX 11 STAR minicomputer. 128 KB to 8 MB of memory and a 5 MHz cycle time.

Crazy people do DEC PDP-11 emulations.
Apparently this (from their page) is not a joke: Something that many people fail to realize
is that the PDP-11 is still alive and well, as such anyone running PDP-11 software under emulation needs
to have a valid license for running that software.
