[ih] Internet nostalgia

[Jack Haverty]

With all the nostalgia floating around, I thought someone might be 
interested in some historical re-enactment...here's some tools which 
might help.

It is now possible to have your own PDP-11, PDP-10, or PDP-8, if only to 
play with the console switches.   All powered by a Raspberry Pi running 
a simulator of your favorite old computer, with a real but replica 
computer console.

See https://www.ceds.dev/pidp-11 or https://www.ceds.dev/pidp-8 or 
https://www.ceds.dev/pidp-10

You can also resurrect old software on it, as the ITS-Hackers have done 
with the PDP-10.   See https://github.com/PDP-10/its

Perhaps someday we'll have an Internet Museum, with the technology of 
the 1970s/80s running again, on modern hardware but using the old 
historic code, protocols, and formats.

You might even debug that final problem you still remember but never 
fixed....
