[homer]Mmm... VAXstation![/homer] I used them as a kid, and the workstation geek in me still drools over those. I loved loading some CAD system (MicroStation maybe?) and making structures, rotating them around, zooming through them - all without knowing much about what I was doing. My dad working at DEC probably had a lot to do with my early love of these kinds of systems.
Motorola were developing multi-core ECL processors for VAXen around 1990, imagine Macs with those!
