Next candidate ... Wasn't it 12 bit ? The closest I ever got to a PDP8 was to clear out the basement of the Digital offices in Reading one Summer holiday in my school years. OT alert The name of the company was written on wooden blocks over the reception desk which were easily removable and I changed them to read "pigtail". Luckily the boss thought it was funny and didn't sack me. -- Tim C. |

After examining the rates and services of the competition. But I actually charge less than that, for small groups, and my fees are roughly average for the handful of people who offer this exact service. Ever winder why there's only a handful of them? Are they all apothikidytes as well? -- Tim C. |
