Ouch.  The first major design project I worked on was
hardware/firmware for 800MHz radios for cellular telephone
systems.  The software development for the radios (Z8000
processors) was being done on a PDP-11 host.

My first trip to a customer site was an installtion where they
were designing a cellular system with PDP-11s as the switch
processors.

Damn I'm getting old.
