 So...

 all this discussion about PDP-12's has got me curious.

 How many of them are there in existence?

 It would certainly be interesting to get a list of machines and at
...
  least city locations -- I'll start the list:

       Ottawa/ON/Canada (mine)
       Roswell/GA/USA

 If anyone wants to send me info, I'll volunteer to collect and put it
...
  up on my website (I won't put email addresses or
other incriminating
...
  evidence unless you want me to :-)).

 The other interesting thing that this discussion begs is the topic of
...
  (borrowed term) "biomagnification". 
It's from the
 environmental field,
 and basically relates to how bigger animals get more than their "fair"
...
  share of poisons because they eat smaller animals
which have already
...
  concentrated the poisons in their systems.  I've
borrowed the
 term because
 lately what I've been thinking about is the accumulated collections of
...
  people who are no longer interested in collecting --
in this case,
...
  instead of just getting one or two machines at a time,
you tend to
...
  get "clusters" of machines -- hence
"biomagnification" :-)

 So... any collectors out there getting rid of PDP stuff? :-)

 Cheers,
 -RK
