Funny, I don't think my PDP-11 is *that* old. It

Yeah... the definition of "old" tends to be quite subjective, as in
"prior to what was current when _I_ got started with foo."
I tend to think of "old" as 100% TTL designs, i.e. -
pre-microprocessor, but that's because I got my start with the 6502
and 1802, then later came upon M-series DEC logic-based machines (like
the PDP-8/L).
