At UA, one of my class mates took SIE170 in about 1982-3 
approx. They used punch cards feeding a Cyber 175, IIRC.

That following summer session, I took SIE170. We used a VAX 
11/780 or 11/785 with VMS accessed on Zenith dumb terminals. 
**JOY**

This was when there was parking at the Computer Center off 
of Mountain.. This was one of many surface parking lots to 
be later built-on-top-of.
