I went to a University named after the guy who invented Logarithms. I studied Pure Maths and have never heard of Polish Notation.  

who was that? Leibniz? Pythagorus?

No doubt, the 128K of RAM is still good, though.

OK.

We used the DEC 10, at that time.  And so, you can pretty-much pinpoint the year.

Mostly for interactive computing.

Yes indeed !   Ours was an early DEC 20  ....think there was a problem fitting a 10 into the prefab and keeping it cool. Problem went away with a 20 and local DEC guys got some sort of ( 2nd had ? deal from Maynard ). 

Mostly interactive ? well yes! up to then it was 99% batch punchcard jobs on the 360

For MainFrame:  IBM 360 

Never took the plunge into 370 land

The 360 even moved when ( some years later ) the whole kit & kaboodle was moved into a real proper building

Those were the days when Science was King, and so was engineering. 

You said it 🙂

Of course.

The sound was music to one's ears, as I recall.
