Given sufficient documentation, it's possible (perhaps not practical) to build a real working 7090 replica. Or to manufacture 10 tons of potsherds. Makes me wonder what archaeologists a thousand years hence will think of our landfills. I wonder if we're starting the "Great Dark Age" where almost nothing will be known, because, you know, it's all on the Web... I feel that way sometimes when looking for old software and hardware information. Sure, archive.org has a lot of stuff, but it doesn't archive *everything*. Inevitably, it's that missing bit that I really need. --Chuck
