- Well, I'm not buying 11/70, I'm getting them for free.

- Yes, I would very much like to get that memory upgrade, but ~$10k is a
- little too expensive for the computer club here. If anybody knows of
- someone who is going to throw away such a kit, let me know... :-)

-
- I know. The 11/70 I'm running right now even have 128K real core.
- That's a whole memory box in it self... Then I have 640K MOS memory
- from Plessey as well. In a half-height box.
-
- I think the 11/70 is a wonderful machine, the only problem is that I
- would like to have that new memory, which is *expensive*. :-(
