Although a DECsystem10 was around only 1MIPS I doubt anyone who'd seen one
(or even better used one) would call it a minicomputer! As far as I'm
concerned our DEC-10 was a mainframe (probably the only system worthy of
that description that was ever housed at La Trobe University even though
our smallest Unix server here now could probably emulate the -10 better
than the original hardware ever could).
A Terak in the collection would be nice, but a Pascal MicroEngine would be
better!
