 I don't get the reference. 
I'm not sure I do, either.  Maybe he means Charles Lasner, a frequent
contributor to alt.sys.pdp8 (aka PDP8-LOVERS) up until a few years ago?

...
   But, thats
just me. To me, having a PDP8/e is the ultimate dream machine.
 That, and having the room to store a PDP8/e... A PDP-8/e isn't all that large. 
Some of the peripherals can cause a
space problem... 
Even the disk drives are rather small - a fully configured system
with multiple RK05's, DECtapes, a few ASR33's, and one of the fixed head disks
weighs well under a half-ton, making it a "small" system by the standards
of many :-).
