hmm. My university had a 7 which as far as I know was never used - it just sat there as a conversational point in one of the physics labs. I probably could have taken it, but just don't have the room for it (nor the knowledge to keep it running, and I don't have the time these days to learn about any new machines sadly!) Don't think I've ever seen any other PDP's aside from that 7 - either running or non-running. hey, wintel machines are great fun - at least in the sense that they're amusing due to the terrible hardware and software that's a complete joke :) Jules
