Now that I have possession of it might as well end the wondering about who got the first LINC-EIGHT. I was the lucky one. This one was the machine Charles Lasner used in his home office though not any time recent. Charles was well known to the PDP-8 community and passed beginning of April.

Congrats. I visited Charles in Queens in 1993 and saw that machine back then. Very glad to hear it's going to a good home. I look forward to pictures. -ethan On Mon, May 11, 2020, 20:38 David Gesswein via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
