Upgrade NowI'm not sure if the TRS-80's ran MS-DOS or IBM-DOS or another flavor. @troj would probably know. . .
I never did anything with PDP11s, but I did a little bit with PDP8s and a lot with various VAXen.The OS these days reminds me of the OS on the old PDP11 minicomputers from the 70s-80s. Very complex and powerful. I used to be a system analyst and programmer for the public transport authority here in Melbourne. I did the software that ran the train system from '92-'98, which ran on a large number of PDP11 computers. Before that I ran the maintenance on our tram and bus tracking system '86-'92. That was also PDP11-based. I had a pretty good handle on RSX11M+ OS and the resident transport software and hardware.
Well Windows designations have never gone more than a couple of consecutive numbers before they switch to some other naming scheme.What happens when they reach Windows 13?
I was along a similar path- started college 1972, running Fortran with keypunched cards, AutoCad and AutoLISP on an original IBM PC. At the end of my college days I did end up writing programs on CRT terminals to run on the university mainframe.Man you guys... I started college in 1973 and did my itsy-bitsy introductory Engineering 1 FORTRAN programs on a keypunch, and you inevitably got in line for the card reader with your little 7 card deck just behind the doctoral researcher that had box as long as your arm to read in!
