Did you know https://t.co/13hS2a9adL is the only place in the world that runs actual PDP-10s on the internet? We currently have 4 KL10 class machines running 24/7 for public access use. Why? PDP-10s are cool and they were the foundation of the arpanet!
The https://t.co/lkp99vE9s7 to XKL Toad-2 migration is complete. Subsystems and new mechanism for FINGER, HTTPD and others are being added. KANKAN is open to new account creation. #pdp10 #vintage #retro #retrocomputing #computer #server #community #hacking #36bits
