I just ran across a nice article about the preservation of computer history in the DTJ (DEC Technical Journal).

It's about their Australian subsidary preserving ancient PDPs in working condition, including not just the PDP-11, but also the PDP-8 and weirdoes such as the PDP-10 and PDP-15. > > Wistfully > > Robin. > Nadav
