I system managed VAX 11/780 serial 000047 in 1979. The original order was
for 256K memory, but we upped it to 768K (3/4 MB) before delivery. It ran
the complete computing of the company, including six programmers, and we
sold time on it to at least four other high tech Cambridge companies -
Shape Data, GDS, Nine Tiles, and whatever Dick Newell’s company was called
at the time (CIS?).
