Tony, Everyone,

I'd be loath to point out that one of the more common houseflys in
computer terms is the PDP-8. While not large or fast they are common
still running CNC machines that were built over 20 years ago. I come
from a time when home computerists lusted for one of these. Granted
the 80xx was still TBD! ;-)
