Awesome, do you have any more info about them you'd be willing to share? By the time my mate was around they weren't common enough in the humanities dept for him to have ever seen one before Manfred's. He's likely at least as curious as I am!

I was at La Trobe 1992-6 and Manfred taught me in 95 or 96.
I remember a mixture of VMS, Ultrix and I think SunOS. A monochrome screen with curses to do your email, browse gopher and text-only web, compile and run programs (in Manfred's case) and log in from any terminal on campus. There were a couple of monochrome Xterms in the computer centre. But desktop computers had obviously taken over by your friend's era.
