PDP-11 is still in production. I know a few companies that make and sell
new PDP-11 systems.
Me too, such as shop-pdp.kent.edu...
Oh, and anyone who thinks anything with a microprocessor in it has a
chance in this competition can walk out the door now.

Even better,
how about the Digital PDP-11.
Doesn't someone have a PDP-8/e hooked up to the Internet in such a manner that
visitors to his site can run stuff on it? > >1:

Define what you mean by "Oldest Computer or Computer System". That can
figure heavily into the correct answer. After all, systems that you
might not consider still under production, such as the PDP-10 or PDP-11
are to at least a certain extent (and I don't mean emulation). Also, if
emulation counts, that might skew the answer as well. Remember
emulation has been used for production systems for a *LONG* time. There are still PDP-8's, PDP-10's and
PDP-11's in daily use. I'm sure
there are at least a couple older ones out there. Just look for
industrial and scientific applications.
True.

Well, various platforms that were connected to Arpanet are still being used.

I'm aware of systems running TOPS-20 and RT-11 serving web pages.
