In the first part of "Three Days of the Condor", there is a PDP-11
clearly visible with tan colored panels and switches. I didn't see a
shot close enough to read the model number, however. There is also a
very loud printing terminal shown, one I haven't seen before, but its
cabinet styling is similar to the styling on the VT05 cabinet.

Looks like this was the LA30 depicted here:

According to "Starring the Computer", there's a PDP-8/E in that

Yep, I stand corrected! Thanks for digging that out, Mike. The
female character in that photo does some fiddling with the DECtape
spools on top of the CPU :-).

New subject: Spring cleaning - items available for trade.
I have been cleaning up the garage to make room for more classic
computers and have some items
I need to get rid of. Most need quite a bit of cleaning!
There are some DEC terminals, an IBM System 36 box, Radio Shack systems
and an HP 64000.
Not all working, but some are.
Look here for more info and photos:
http://www.dvq.com/trade/
The stuff is located in the Santa Cruz, CA area. I'm looking to trade
for smaller, lighter stuff. Most of the
items are big and heavy and probably not worth shipping but if someone
really, really wants something,
I can try and ship it. There's a UPS store not too far from me that can
help, but is not cheap.

Thunderbird puts in "splats" around bolded or italicized items in HTML
mail that then have to be sent out via plain text. So, either send out
HTML mail without conversion to text, or stop bolding everything in your
mail (if this is default, maybe switch to a non-bolded font like Courier?)
