Hmmm, 500? . . . not with this group. There's maybe 30 to 50 of us
subscribers who do DEC and would buy them (I'm wildly guessing at the #
based on how many seem to get involved w/PDP-11 discussions here plus some
lurkers tossed-in.). There are other folks who may be interested but not on
the list because they either choose not join or just don't know of it.
Would you think it would be worthwhile to see how the non-listmembers
reading the PDP-related newsgroups would react to the availability of the
CD's you propose? This could give you a better feel if the 500-mark could
be reached. I like the idea of longevity :)
