  Now do you one with or with out TUBES? 
 Looking a list here http://members.iinet.net.au/~dgreen/timeline.html  1956 was a
great year for TUBE computers.
 1960 was a great year Transistor computers. ( Hmm I could get a PDP-1 ) 
 I suppose to commemorate my birth, I'll need to get an S-100 box
 of some sort, or possibly: 
     "DECStation" 
      PDP-11/60A 
      VAX-11/780 (...but what would I run on it? It would have to be
                  RSTS/E, since VMS 1.0 hadn't been released, probably.) 
I was looking at VMS manuals sometime in 1978... we were
evaluating the HP3000, Prime 550, VAX 11/780, and DG Eclipse
(Campus Computer Usage Committee).

Prime one.

Well, for a birthyear computer, anyone know where I
can find a slightly-used IBM 709? I used to have the
IBM 711 Card Reader and 716 Line Printer...
