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.
