Jerome Fine replies:
Since I am an RT-11 addict, there is a bit of a bias
that I have. In addition, you don't seem to have even
one PDP-11.
If you are interested, it would be possible to rectify
that aspect.

get something wrong. I don't know if they would be willing
to allow you to check what they write for accuracy, but
it might be worth a try.
In addition, they will often dumb down what they are told
since the average person out there does not even know
what a non-WinTel system is, let alone that any exist!
More suggestions will probably be coming your way!
Sincerely yours,
