Nico, its a total piece of junk, a waste of time.... so lemme send you
my address and you can ship that paperweight right to me :-)
Seriously though, I'd love to get it, shipping will be murder to the US
though.

Hi
I visited a customer in Sweden today. In the corner was a packed-up PDP
11/34. I dont know beans about PDP, but that is what they told me. There
seemed to be a CPU, a disk drive and a few disc packs
Would that be interesting for anyone ? If so, I can ask the customer if we
can have it

That is
exactly why I *still* run critical or security-sensitive
stuff on such platforms. It leaves those kiddies with a severe
headache. :)
At last! A motivation behind all this. I was beginning to wonder.
I saw a digital animation festival last night and was thinking of
getting a new compute server. By my calculations a midsized
PC passed even the CRAY-1 in compute speed sometime in 2002,
give or take a year. It probably would require a stripped down O/S
to do the computing. MS must take out at least 3/4 of the machine
power.
