Dave, you are not an authority on all things DEC any more than I am.

You're showing off your USA-centric pig-headed superiority complex, big
time.

Just because you didn't have an LSI-11 "badged" SYSTEM, doesn't mean
nobody ever did.  Certainly the one I had was no figment of my
imagination!  Remember that we live in different countries.  DEC had
large manufacturing facilities in Canada (and the same goes for other
counties on the other side of the pond).  Not everything we had here was
derived from, shipped to, or marketed in the same way, as it was down
south of our border.

(not to be confused with the modern H.100 Computer Telephony Integration
bus, of course)

You bought and sold and used them and never knew the name for the bus!?!?!?

something there is unbelievable.....

likewise, I'm sure.

If I'm "argumentative and adversarial", what the hell do you call
someone like you who's ever so much more of the same, but with a
distinctly agressive and emotionally driven bent to the extent that I
don't think I've ever observed you in an argument where you haven't
resorted quite quickly to ad hominem attacks.  Just like this one.
