Mid 80's Agreed, when I worked for maker of news communications equipment the 70s/80s images looked like what I saw at AP & the Wall St. Journal. They both used a lot of DEC equipment behind the scenes and special editing terminals for they're stories (the hugemoungous keyboards). Early 80s As far as CAD, I recall having an early AutoCAD for the IBM PC while in college (helped create the computer labs at Middlesex CC). I recall that troublesome dongle that made things interesting. Many manufacturers had better CAD stations. Oddly enough I never learned CAD. I had learned to do it with pencil and paper. I probably still have the kit. :-) Home computers were useless in larger businesses, no network (okay terminals to the mini/mainframe and then the network there). I recall the first IBM PC networks being netbuei, then arcnet then the gold standard 3COM thick net board (with the 68K processor ;-) ). In the later part of the 80's do I recall twisted pair (1BaseT) and token ring (4M) and the ever popular FDDI. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies
