The PDP-8 WAS pretty slick. I have about 150 IM6100 chips that someday I am going to turn into PDP-8 dev boards so we OFs can relive our youth. :-)

My High school had a PDP-8 back in the very early 70’s i first learned to programme on that machine. Had a card reader, and DEC terminals. No monitors. I/O was to tractor fed paper. The terminals could also read DEC tape (the yellow ribbon strips that had punch holes).

i still miss it.
