I'll vouch for the fact that this is pretty cool; I set up accounts on the TOPS-10 and
-20 systems a few years ago, and the VAX-11/785 about a month ago. Really neat stuff!
Lots more exciting than playing with SIMH, though that's fun in its own right.

you're right, Ethan. Playing with a real
36bit Machine would be a good
pleasure. Personally, I never had the chance to work on one - except
virtual ones. It'd be great to see one in action - live, but as far as I
found out nothing survived here in Austria (correct me if I am wrong).
You can always play on our Tops-10 and TOPS-20 systems, which are
assuredly very real hardware. Just use the "Request a Login" button on
