Personally, I have a love affair with "big iron".  I"ve got most of a 4/690MP
in my garage, and talked with a guy today about obtaining another , or at
least the guts to one.. my ideal acquisition would be a PDP-11, tho - I've
always wanted one, and now I have a rack (an empty 690 chassis) to put it
in...

If I only had the money and a truck to collect stuff fulltime..

Bill
