Thats pretty much the way I feel about the PDP-11's. I have about a dozen of them
sitting around doing nothing. If anything it will be a fun and unusual project.

That reminds me of when I first got my PDP-11/73 running TSX-Plus and
RT-11. Some of the files needed to use the assembler were missing,
and the only other language on the system was COBOL-Plus. Wanting
to use this system for a BBS, I set out to do something unusual with
COBOL: write a BBS program. The result was the creation of a BBS
called the Gadzooks! BBS. It wasn't perfect, and didn't do a heck of
lot other than allow one to post and read messages, etc., but at least
it was a way of at least doing something half-way interesting with
a PDP-11 and COBOL. :-)
