- Ah yes, 6016, 6011, 5027, 6016.... We used to compete on a PDP8/I which
- had the smooth rocker switches rather than the toggle type. The rockers
- were far superior- you could kind of "flow" down the switches rather
- than flick up or down. I have a PDP8/L, but I'd really like an PDP8/I
- someday
