Maybe your mental image of VMS is still a 2 meter high rack with one
MicroVAX and its huge and heavy disks, capable of less than a modern PC?

VMS on a multiprocessor DEC Alpha machine is not stone age in any respect.

Coming back to the topic of this list:

I often meet people which have a similar mental image of TeX and
LaTeX. They are surprised: What, LaTeX can do colour? What, embedding
eps figures runs without pain? because their mental image conserves
a state of LaTeX half a decade ago.
