And note that in that same paragraph I said I'm not about to stop running my
old DEC gear, or my '72 Dodge Pickup. At the same time I make definite use
of PDP-10 and PDP-11 emulators. I really can't be bothered with a VAX

I hate to
admit it, but there is some merit to that statement. Not that
it
stops me from driving my '72 Dodge Pickup or running my old DEC gear. The
fact of the matter is that you can emulate a PDP-10, PDP-11, or VAX on a
Mini-ITX box that uses a *LOT* less power and generates a *LOT* less heat.
