Thanks to Martin for grabbing 14 DEC terminals from me
last week -- very
pleasant to meet someone who is still working with PDPs and real terminals
in the wild!
I've just passed our waste electrical skip at work and noticed that
someone has dumped a PDP-8/e box in there. I'm being imprecise about this
because I've never seen one before. This isn't a big rack, just a single
heavy box fronted by an orange and brown PDP-8/e front panel. I assume
it's the processor itself. If I can chuck this in my car this evening,
would anyone here be able to pick it up from me by the end of this month?
I'd love to pick it up! However, you'd be far better off sticking it on
eBay and then buying your SO something nice to make up for the house
full of old computers...
Seriously - grab it, they're worth something these days.
