Them were the days all right.

Running RSX-11D on a very early PDP-11/40 with 56Kb of RAM and three 2.4Mb RK05's

We developed a flight simulator to test aircraft avionics. We could run the Real Time simulation while others could compile Fortran. All on a 200KHz machine.

So nowadays, we need a 4GHz PC to answer emails? [redacted]

Not sure if things really have got better
