Hi All;
Anyone catch that "Pirates of Silicon Valley" movie last night ?

I don't know if it is historically accurate, but according to my eyes,
Steve Jobs and Bill Gates had a PDP-8 in their dorm room at Harvard
in 1974.

At that time, even tho it was almost 10 years old, we were still using a
PDP-8 as a teaching computer in an undergrad lab.

The point ?  It would have been worth about the cost of a new Buick.

How the heck do students get to have a MINICOMPUTER in their bedroom ?
