DEC was way ahead here. This is an RK-07 disk drive from a PDP-11 system in the late 1970s. Yes we made games on it.

Huge things are happening in the PDP-11 fandom
Clearly I haven't gotten enough of my 🍑 kicked by the standards process. So, here we go, doing Big Work all over again. First of many larger changes for C that should've been done 25 years ago.

Who ever heard of a cat that can use a computer?
![Illustrated retro cartoon commission for Nyxbutsilly of her fursona (a black cat with long black hair and red null-symbol pupils) wearing a sweater dress and advertising the PDP 11/70 computer.
The text at the top reads: "You'll be the most co-ordinated cat in the computer room! PDP 11/70."
Bottom text reads: "The system... RSTS-11. The software... BASIC-PLUS."

My next random side project. Building a PDP-11 from a kit. Because you can’t understand the cloud unless you’ve built a working mini computer for shelf 😂

I am an *old* GenX and I *only* buy stuff on my PDP-11/83 running Version 5 UNIX, using a line-mode web browser I wrote in BCPL that runs on a DECWriter. It's the only way to be safe from ad exchange malware!
Somebody said millennials usually use their laptops (instead of smartphones) for major purchases, including booking flights. I can’t stop thinking about this.
