Once I get a decent space, a PDP-11/45 or 11/70 is the first large
machine I'll go hunting for. Gorgeous front panels...

I'll be spending saturday playing with small 11s actually. We're
having a "Q-BUS" workshop day at the RCS, so we're all going to
bring our small 11s and spare parts in and see how many functional
machines we can piece together...

(And hopefully get me an OS for my 11/23!)
