Nobody mentioned a DEC10 yet.

aka PDP-10. Big Brother used hundreds of them back in the day.
ARPANET had loads of DEC mainframes on its network.
We retired the last working DEC20 (essentially two DEC10s) just before we closed the old office. IIRC, DEC gave us plenty of incentives to make the switch. That must have been 1989 or so.
