In the mid 80s our Uni teaching 11/780 running VMS would groan and creak under the strain of 50 students logged on. I was told that over at Sydney Uni, their 11/780s were running a very modded and tweaked Unix and could have a hundred or more students logged in on the one machine. Whether it was crashy or not, they got more bang-for-buck out of their VAXen.
