My Story
For most of my adult life I've been in technology - in some form or another, of which using computers is only a part of. I was bitten by the "bit-bug" around 1980 when my eldest brother (and mentor) took me on an weekend outing to his employer in Gaston Co. NC and introduced me to a main frame - a VAX-11/780. I found out what was meant by the term "big iron." Little did I know then but soon learned that what I was observing was multiple VAX's in what's called a VMS Cluster - multiple parallel processing main frames linked together sharing common tasks. Wow! Built by Digital Equipment Corporation the VAX-11 system was their flagship processing behemoth. And, a behemoth it was - it took 20 tons of A/C to cool the data center where it ran. For all you PC "young-uns" that missed the good old days of big iron, that's 240,000 btu's of Air Conditioning (24x365). How would you like to pay the power bill on that?
