Burroughs Computers

Hi!

I have a lead on a computer, a Burroughs 6800, that is apparantly being
kept in a store-room and not being used. It seems I should be able to get
it if I asked. My question is - do I want it? Mostly I have limited
myself to micros, as they are small and fit my own interests, but I have
always been willing to accept larger systems. But as a result I know
nothing about Burroughs - is this thing huge, or what? Is it rare, common,
powerful or just dull? Any information would be greatly appreciated,
especially where it fits into the general history of computers.

Thanks heaps,

Adam.
