    Anybody still using hp-ux? I used the platform when I worked
    for BNR and later Nortern Telecom/Nortel.

    Which Nortel campus did you work at?

    I first used HPUX when I worked at Vodapage in the UK in about 1993 or 1994. I worked at HP Convex site in Richardon, TX for a while. That's where they developed the V Class HP Servers. Some smart guys they were. I'd look after the lab and load up BIOS firmware and configure servers and boring crap like that. It was a contract job and I needed the money and get a foothold in the market when I moved to the US.

    Had to go look at my resume to remember the models ...
    HP (9000 400 series and 700 series, B180, B2000, C3600)

    It's been so long that I can't remember much. I know it was an HP 9000/800 series H class in one job. Most HP 9000/800 and 700's in another. Then there were the DL series like the DL380. I've got one under my desk. I don't power it up because it sounds like an airplane and heats the room like an oven. Not something I need in the Texas heat.

    Superdome was the branding name of the cluster?

    Yes, "Superdome Integrity" was the product line branding.
