I could do without that Dave Plummer guy as well. First he scams people with that registry cleaner. Then he artificially inflates PDP11 prices via buying a garbage for downright ridiculous prices, thus artificially setting the bar for what these things can sell for. And what's he doing with all this? just blinkenlightzen, something that could've easily been done on a PiDP11. I'm not saying that hobbyists shouldn't enjoy real hardware, but shoving a QBone into a Unibus chassis, that you severely overpaid for, doesn't help anyone. He consistently breaks stuff all the time, with no explanation of what he did to repair it (because he hired a smarter set of hands to fix it for him) and blandly announces to the world that he just bought a VAX for more money than any of us will ever see, and will inevitably break that in some horrendous way. Only to then announce to the world that "he fixed" his 80Lb doorstop, with about the same energy, if not less, than a saltine cracker that has maybe a little bit less salt than you wanted. But don't forget, he wrote the Start Menu for some versions of Windows! errr, no he didn't, just fragments and little bits and pieces of truth. I know Grade A BS when I smell it. We don't need either of these clowns in the community, they drag us down to their level and give us a bad rep. Thanks, Andrew Mattera Garden State Applied Arts L.L.C.
