I remember the 11/34 fondly. The whole EE department at Cory
Hall was running one one; then when I interned at Livermore my
job of porting the "Portable F77 Compiler" was done with vi and
the source code that Stu Feldman wrote. I love[d] those bloody
old computers, :-) Dunno why. Maybe because they really
*were* about computing. Not streaming [[whatever]] or having
php running. (Blah^9^9^9)
