Yes, I think you're right about 1983. Now you've jogged my memory I believe I first used Oracle on LSI 11/73 under RSX early in '83 then quickly moved to O3 on VAX 11/750 (16MB RAM, 90MB disk) later that year. The move to O3 was important to us as it introduced AIJ (After Image Journaling) - the precursor to redo. Glad to know I'm not the only veteran still working.
Cheers,
