That's
fair enough. Personally, I doubt any of the older computers are
*truly* elegant internally - there was too much learning going on. I'm not
even sure if it's true of modern computers either.
Of course, you'll prove me wrong now... ;)
I dunno about that. In the past 24 hours, I've worked on the
innards of an SGI Onyx, an AlphaServer 2100A, and a PDP11/34a. I'll
take the 25-year-old PDP11 over any of them, physical design wise.
