The LINC-8???!!!  Without looking it up on Giggle, wasn't that a version 
of the beautiful PDP-8?  The lab version?

Now there was a great machine (the PDP-8, I mean); I started to write an 
emulator for it (I know, there are dozens of them already) until I ran 
into the intricacies of the dreaded OPR instruction...

Oh, and Happy Programmers' Day everyone (it's the 100H'th day of the 
year).  For octoids, I think it's March 4th or something (I've always 
hated octal base, for some reason).
