I have a DEC PDP8 in running condition.  It has programs for estimating the cost of greeting cards. Do you know of anyone who would like this dinosaur?

He sent me a photo that shows the DecSystem 310 with two RX02 drives (black front, a total of 4 floppy disks worth).  The DecSystem 310 format involves mounting the PDP-8/A in a desk with floppies and on-off switch facing the front and the rest hidden behind.  The desk looks to be in good shape (although it's piled with junk in the photo he sent).  His e-mail address at mwra.com<http://mwra.com> (Massachusetts Water Resources Authority) suggests that this machine is likely in the Boston area.

Please reply to him, not to me.
