My first job was at DEC (software engineer in Germany).
I remember we were a team of 20 (or so) time sharing single VAX, each of us on 40x25 DEC terminal using LSE (language sensitive editor).
In retrospect it is amazing how far ahead of its time DEC often was: The first 64 bit processor (DEC alpha), the first search engine (Altavista), etc; and how little came of it in the end.
That all is now over 20 years ago, and I still look fondly back to that time, and I am still in contact with my former colleagues.
