Ah well, more for me then. I cut my teeth on PDP-11s 30yrs ago, and I
always find it therapeutic to fire one up today. I have a biggish
commercial building and am putting together a computer museum up here.
Right now it's only "privately open", and we have hack workshops and
stuff to get things running. There are about sixty racks in here.
It's awesome that you worked on C.mmp. I saw that machine in person a
few weeks ago. I'd love to discuss that with you a bit off-list if you
can spare the time.
