| Apr 14, 2017 at 20:07 | comment | added | John Hascall | The directory listing on the screen indicates a PDP-11 such as perhaps blog.iso50.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/pdp-11-processor.jpg | |
| Apr 14, 2017 at 16:53 | comment | added | hobbs | A MicroVAX or VAXServer (from near the end of that era) could be as small as a (fairly large) desktop/tower system, e.g. sites.inka.de/pcde/site/mvax2_files/mvax2_front_1.jpg | |
| Apr 14, 2017 at 15:56 | comment | added | Stephen Kitt | @triplee indeed, at least for computers with doors or cabinets; the analogy is especially appropriate when you move up to mainframes (like the PDP-10). | |
| Apr 14, 2017 at 15:52 | comment | added | tripleee | In other words, pretty much indistinguishable from a refrigerator, or a row of them. | |
