   I used RSTS/E this century. :-) There was an application written in   
   Basic-Plus that was still in use (and maintained) by a company I worked   
   for. When DEC hardware was no longer available, they wrote an emulator   
   that ran on top of SCO OpenServer and RSTS/E ran in that.   
      
   It was really interesting to work on and see how things were done back   
   when PDP-11s were common.
