The documentation was amazing. I did campus backups in the white room back in college, and for some reason that was the place they had shelf after shelf of these binders; while the Vaxen hummed, I read through them. It was something of a letdown to move to MAN pages when we got some UNIX boxen.

ah, a fellow tape monkey. Our "white room" had collected 25 years of old hardware and manuals back in the 90s. I loved trawling through it all. Best job ever.
