Hi Mel,

 I am confused about  the source of confusion. :-P
This  is the same format I’ve been sending CLUG-talk notices
of CUUG meetings for several years.

Cheers,
Chris
CUUG President

Please Note: This message is about a CUUG  event not CLUG.

For those interested on the CLUG-talk list let me know if you find this confusing as I all ready got a comment from a new comer who was not really sure at first which club meeting he was attending?

Thanks

Dear members and friends of CUUG,

  What have people been doing lately with the Raspberry Pi other low cost 
machines?
Some issues people describe kick me back 40 years to problems we solved in the 
mid-1970s
when  PDP-8s were the micro kings and priced near the cost of a pretty 
respectable car.

  Wasn't this the target machine for Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie when 
first designing C?
i++; and i--; translated directly to to incm <addr> and decm <addr> machine 
instructions.

Maximum memory  32k words (8 4k banks)
Minimum instruction time        1.2 microseconds
Add memory to accumulator       2.6 microseconds
12 x 12 multiply with 24 bit result     256.5 microseconds (subroutine)
12 x 12 multiply with 24 bit result     40 microseconds (with EAE option)
Operating Environment   0 to 55 C (32-130F)   10% to 90% Humidity
Power   <= 450 watts (varies with option cards)
Size (HeightxWidthxDepth)       10.5x19x24 inches
Weight  100 lbs total, 45 lbs power supply
Cost Minimum Configuration 4k memory    $4490 installation included from DEC in 
1974
  $53 per month for maintenance
Cost in configuration shown, excluding I/O devices
