Sigh.  You know you're really getting old when:
o   You started at HP in another life as part of the Lab that was then doing
    *preliminary investigations* for the 7900.
o   You were on the team that developed the 13037 MAC controller for the
    7905, 7906, 7920, and 7925 discs.
o   The 7933 was released *after* DMD moved to Boise in 1977 and you went to
    work on MPE II instead.
o   All the 790x and 792x drives are long dead, along with the controller
    they rode in on.
o   The 7933's are just waiting for enough boats for them to anchor.
