[GreenKeys] Happy birthday, PDP-8!

[Paul Heller]

I hate controversy, but much as I like the PDP-8  I really do believe it’s not appropriate for this board. (Gil did ask us to self regulate...). Just one man’s opinion. 

And yes, I’ll be shutting off the autostart feed again now for a bit just in case.
