Too bad it's so far from Ohio. If we could only delete KY through OK, it'd
be much closer.

The only reason I've ever wanted an 11/60 is because long ago, I heard
the story that its microcode engine was verified by a DEC engineer whose
hobby was hacking the PDP-8 instruction set where it shouldn't belong.
I heard he succeded in turning a PDP-11/60 in the Mill into the world's
fastest PDP-8. Dunno what you could do about peripherals, though.
