The first computer I got to use was a PDP-8. You get a Program Counter
and a Accumulator. :)
And NO stack. Might as well mention the intresting missing items too.
Yeah, that really put me off a bit...
I had a PDP8, sitting in storage. Sold it to a guy a while back, after
storing it for a few years and finally coming to the realization that I
wasn't ever gonna do anything with it.
