It's great to see Stacken's old machine being taken care of and tinkered with, I'm sure some of our older members will be thrilled to see this. For the past 20 years we sadly haven't had space for minicomputers or mainframes, though for a while we were planning to run an emulated PDP-10 with ITS or something (project on hold due both to the emulated system's clock drifting dramatically and the VT220 I was using spontaneously breaking very subtly: key commands don't transmit anything, but everything else works). I'm too young to have used any of these machines myself for anything approaching real work, but I can't help but be fascinated by them.
