Reminds me of the "PDP-11 trivia contest" that was held at DECUS, I think on the
occasion of the 20th anniversary of the PDP-11. If so that would have been 2000. I still
have the poster that went with it somewhere. And I remember the question I contributed:
"On what model and under what circumstances will the PC increment by 1?"

Do you understand "Stop this RIM RAM or I will DEC you"?
Do you know what PDP is an acronym for?
Do you think in PDP-11 Assembler.
Do you know the difference between OS/8 and RTS/8.
Is EMACS your friend?
Can you discuss the advantages of Tops 10 over Tops 20.
Have you ever programmed a DEC 18 bit machine?
Does VAX have nothing to do with vacuum cleaners?
If you can answer yes to any of these I am hosting a "DECnut" pizza party, at
my house, Saturday, September 9th at 7PM with pizza to be delivered sometime after that.
If you are interested please stop by my table (first 2 tables to the left of the door in
the "big iron" room). Look for the PDP-8/E with an RX02 attached.
Please feel free to pass this email on to any DEC fan.
Thanks,
Mike
