You want to make a mod 5 years down the road, sorry we do not
support that model any more. TTL needs to be stock piled
now for the next +50 years.
Good point. Just as TTL needs to be stockpiled, I think we should be in a habit of
archiving virtual machines containing development software installed in a compatible
operating system, so the software can still hopefully be used long after the original
machines are obsolete. Much like we often use SIMH now for maintenance tasks to help bring
up old machines that no longer live in an ecosystem of similar machines.
