Yes, Relf still hasn't learned proper Usenet manners, crossposting an 
existing thread to unrelated groups.

As to last time I saw a PDP-11, yesterday. Sort of. I happen to have a 
"PDP-11" integrated circuit, a Soviet clone of an F-11 chip. Back from
the days where PDP-11s and VAXen were export controlled but the USSR
would smuggle them and copy them.
