It seems that a PDP 11/73 is small enough to run at home.  So do I get one
or not?

Yes!  You'll have enough blinkenlights then.

You can always get 7th Edition running on it.

 No! Remind me of some of the reasons you wanted to get rid of
 the defender machine? I'm sure one of them was lack of space

I hope he's got solid floorboards; the last PDP/11 I saw was muchos
heavy, too.

Ignore the heretic and his shouts of compare! swap! Embrace the

I would never ignore the heretic - if I did, he wouldn't introduce me to
eccellent restaurants, and get me drunk and stuff.
