PDP-8 on e-bay

the Good question... I've pointed him at a web site with PDP-8 pictures (Paul Pierce's) and asked him to identify the suspect. I've received at least one email asking whether I'm crazy. Well, clinically, yes. :-) But beyond that, I was severely traumatized as a child (well, in high school) and I'm still recovering. I spent most of my morning recesses (and many lunches) of my sophmore and junior years programming an IMSAI 8080 system, with North Star BASIC and floppy drive, Tarbell tape monitor, and a teletype for a printer. Then when I returned from Summer vacation my senior year, I found the IMSAI disappeared, replaced with (IIRC) an Altos MP/M machine. I was heartbroken. So now that I'm a grown-up and have a real job and some money to spend, I spend some of it on old computers. Perhaps I'm crazy. But not nearly as crazy, in my opinion, as people that buy mass-produced luxury cars for many tens of thousands of dollars... - Joe PS. Paul, are you on this list?
