Only!

Oh yeah, and I'd missed some of the pictures of the Stacken
systems in Sweden:

I don't know, given the two separate systems shown there, and the
DECSYSTEM-2065 in Norway, it seems to me like there might be some
substance to these Scandanavian PDP-10 rumors.
I hear hydroelectric power is relatively inexpensive; Norway and Sweden
(maybe Finland too?) have certain advantages when running large systems
in regard to the power being fairly cheap. At least that's what I've
been told by people I know from Sweden and Norway.

have a DEC-20 of some sort, but no KA10s or KI10s as the rumor states.
This rumor has been circulating for years. Unless someone gives me
*concrete* evidence, I have to doubt the existence of the mythical -10s.
Well, it's only a DECSYSTEM-2065, but it's in Norway.
