Here in NZ and around the world many of us are in lockdown and spending more time on our
computers, if that were possible. I have just completed the restoration of a PDP-8
Straight 8 which I believe is the only one in New Zealand. You can view the restoration
story and find appropriate resources here: https://pdp-8.nz <https://pdp-8.nz/>
While it plays Chess, it would be great if someone wanted to write (say) a Prime Number
Generator, or some other application and email it to me off list. I have Focal-69 and can
probably source other languages for this wonderful old machine with 4K of memory.
