yeah.. I should just cut the label out of my front panels and throw the
buttons and stuff out..
(I'd rather have the complete machines actually :/ )
/P
C: Dude, years ago there were 2 guys sporting PDP/8e's IIRC. One had the real thing,
replete w/oozing capacitors. The other had this little thing that could fit in a show box.
Both were named Dave, again IIRC. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A VINTAGE FEST. But the *other*
Dave brought his little contraption, date code 2004.
?One thing I'll point out is the *other* Dave didn't need laparoscopic surgery as
a result of showing off his PDP/whatever. He was kind of a weird guy though. Got a job
w/Microsloth (don't listen to Fred, I, even I invented that term!), and blew the
community off, took off w/their domain name. They had to hire a private investigator or
something close to find him! No one's heard from him since. You know one just might
wonder if he was _sent_ there by M* to spy out illegal distributing of wares and whatnot.
Makes you wonder...
?Needless to say the other Dave (not *other*) was much cooler. He had official vintage
gear. And had a TI Pro at home w/a mondo cool IBM compatibility board. That's the kind
of Dave I like!
