Hi Gang:
It is with pleasure that I report that the pdp-11/60 in Vancouver
has been rescued!
Eric Smith flew up from San Jose today, and we rescued the beast, moving
it to a temporary storage locker until Eric can re-attend and drive it
back down south.

This, to me, is what the hobby of preserving our old computers is
all about... no e-bay, no bickering over whose Altair is worth more
to the speculators, just two people spending a lot of money and time
on the spur (literally!) of the moment to save another rare old
machine from Scrap.
Bravo, Eric!! Thanks, Kevin! Too damn K3WL...!
Cheers
John
