I’m more interested in Unix history than old hardware, but the volume of
this group is well within my tolerance for annoyance. I agree with Doug.
Post at will, I’ll grouse when it becomes intolerable.

occasionally ever-patient Warren gives a nudge. (I'm a digest reader. If
every posting came as a distinct message, I might feel otherwise.)
