Aha, excellent! I would like to apply for Pioneer Status, please. Is
there a newsletter?
In all seriousness, I got my start at university in 1992 when loads of
DEC equipment was turning up all over campus. Eventually, I founded the
Cornell University Classic Computer Club with several like-minded
engineering friends who loved the guts of old computers. We spent many
fun hours hacking on PDP-11s. We even dragged several up to the central
lounge in our dorm building and set them up with a little display, a
sort of mini-museum. Good times. I miss them lots!
