Hi!

I know that The computer club Stacken at Royal Institute of Technology in
Stockholm used to have a KA10
(KATIA) (TIA = 10) and a KI10, KICKI.

Check this web page (in swedish) http://susning.nu/KATIA

I have actually seen then myself a number of times. They were massive..

I am convinced that the rumor of Scandanavian -10s is either simply not
true, or blown out of proportion. The group mentioned above does indeed
have a DEC-20 of some sort, but no KA10s or KI10s as the rumor states.

This rumor has been circulating for years. Unless someone gives me
*concrete* evidence, I have to doubt the existence of the mythical -10s.
