100% agree.
God I miss DEC! Hell, and if you're old enough to remember, I still have the jar of Vaseline (laugh all you want!!!) that I used back in the day for making clean vampire tap connections on thick-wire Ethernet for the backends (
) of the clusters and into the routers. DECnet, DELNIs, VTs, all things that make me hard! Yeah, that's when network engineers new our shit and could run the VAX too... Running ribbon cable in AGS and AGS+ routers, 20-part IOS volumes on the shelf. Good times...
