Ok, if we're counting machines at home, I have five or six PDP-11s, all 
working. Four or five PDP-8. They should be working, but several I 
haven't tested in years now. Two PRO-380 (I guess they can count as 
PDP-11s as well).
Four or so VAXen, a bunch MIPS based DECstations, two Alphas, and I 
don't know what else. If I can extend the count to machines at the 
compuer club where I play, I can add big iron PDP-11s and VAXen as well.
