Back in 1978 I'd interned at one of the VAX-11/780 beta test sites. The group I was in was based at DEC's Mill facility in Maynard MA but was slated to move in a few months to the new software engineering facility on Spit Brook Road in Nashua, NH. So I got an apartment in Nashua and commuted to Maynard for a while. When I registered my car I got the VAXVMS vanity license plate. When the VMS OS group moved to Nashua from Tewksbury they wondered who had the VAXVMS plates. Armando had the New Hampshire UNIX plates on his spiffy red Datsun (they weren't Nissan yet) sports car. My car was an old, rusted-out Datsun B210. Armando jokingly threatened to park his car next to mine and photograph UNIX and VAXVMS side-by-side. -Paul W. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

As you said Armando had a Z car at the time. I mentioned I had a Jetta, but after I wrote that I remembered that the picture was of my silver '79 Capri that predated my Jetta - which was the first unixmobile in my series of MA plated same. ᐧ On Wed, May 11, 2022 at 11:51 AM Paul Winalski <paul.winalski@gmail.com> wrote: > On 5/11/22, Clem Cole <clemc@ccc.com> wrote: > > I did not realize Shannon must have had it first.

FWIW I picked up a UNIX plate at USENIX 2001, possibly one of the last. It has the texts "Compaq" and "Tru64" on it.
