Well, I think a lot of us here are old farts...you're just an
older fart than most! ;)
Hm :-/ I'd have said I'm younger than, well, *some* anyway. Probably
about 1/3 of the way up the age range, at 33
Ahh ok, not such an old fart after all. ;) I've got you beat by
five years.

What '11 hardware do you have, again?
Old stuff? The aforementioned 11/73, a Microvax 3300, some Sanyo
CP/M86
machine, an Osborne 1, a ZX Spectrum, some not-working Epson HX20s,
and
a couple of BBCs.
Sounds like a good pile. My house is overflowing with PDP-11s
(and a few PDP-8s and a PDP-10 for balance!) and I really need to
find some time to repair some of the dead ones. My 11/34a doesn't
like to boot; that's next on the list.
