   HEEEYYY! Watch it!  I happen to think my PDP-11/44 system is rather 
handsome - all three racks of it!  ;}

  And several of the components of my VAXStation 3100s (expansion drives, 
TK70s, SCSI RX51, and one spare System Unit) came from WierdStuff...

  On-Topicness: at one time I owned a genuine "boatanchor" computer, a 
Bendix G-15 - it had several hundred 12AX7s and thousands of germanium 
diodes - and a rotating drum memory of more than 3K !!!!! And yes, it 
worked...

   If any readers are interested in Legacy Computing, from the Eniac thru 
machines that are ten years old or older - try the Classic Computer 
Collector's list:  www.classiccmp.org; the Listserv is 
cctalk at classiccmp.org   We'll even let you talk about that DG stuff!
