Some machines
will never approach that sort of value. Picking on
Honeywell
again, I doubt a Level 6 will ever be worth even a tenth of a PDP-8, even
in 50 years.
Look at it this way, the PDP-8's and PDP-11's have an advantage over a
Honeywell system. Even the rarer 8's and 11's probably are easier to get
parts for, and then there is the whole question of software.
Of course what I'd really like is a DPS-8 emulator and a copy of GCOS-8 to
run on it (or a copy of Multics).
