I found out that the prez of my ex-company uses a concrete filled "dec
pdp 8" (his words) as a permanent sailboat anchor at his summer house.
what a great way to recycle computer parts.... sheesh.

[A PDP-8 for some undeserving ba$**rd to use as a BOAT ANCHOR?)
Hmm. I'll fix him! Where's he at, and has anoyone got a drill and some
diving gear?

Well, I asked one of my friends who still worked there if he could check
on any PDP type equipment; I thought it was worth a shot. apparently the
big man heard about it and told him some story about how he had hated
one so much as a student, he got one as scrap and filled it with
concrete and sunk it out on the lake w/ a huge eye-bolt to connect the
sailboat to. A moron's revenge, I guess.

Well I just wonder what about an -* that could get someone so steamed up
that they'd want to take revenge 20? years later. Of course, with my
yachties hat on, we'd use almost anything to act as a weight. My favorite
was old railway carriage wheels.
