I think ~25 years are sufficient delay that a story can be told ...

I went down to London to install our product for Texaco (on a cluster of 
VAX 8800s as I recall) they didn't have a desk available for me to work 
from, so asked If I minded working on the console in the server room, no 
problem.

We only had lowly uVAX 3100s for our develop/test systems, and those 
don't use ctrl-P, but I was aware of it on bigger machines, however it 
took me a few seconds to wonder why my session had ground to a halt, and 
by the time I realised and tried to type "C" the dreaded CNXMAN cluster 
state transition messages started scrolling by ... sorry ALL-IN-1 users.
