Lots of us have vaxen, lots of us have

will ever touch a 360 these days. So lets build the one we'll
probably never
get a real one of!
Multics (!) - or any of the GE600 famility (-> Honeywell 600 -> Honeywell
6000 -> Level 66/Level 68)
or, for the truly nostalgic CS theorists, B5500 and successors
Atlas - the origin of virtual memory (and, hey, it wouldn't be difficult to
make more replicas than there were originals!)
