turning down a free DEC PDP-11 (with dec datasystem tape drives, etc) that would have filled my entire suv, made me realize that i don't like minicomputers despite their hulking coolfactor.
i love personal microcomputers specifically because they're mainframe and minicomputer gachapon. you get this amazing machine packed into something that can fit on a couple of books. i don't think a day goes by that i look at my tandy 1000 tl/2 and think: god damn that thing is a dream
