What can I say about a kit computer which
came with the "Special DEC Software License Requirement. All
H11 purchasers will be required to fill out and sign a DEC license
agreement prior to delivery of H11 orders. The license agreement form
will be available at your Heathkit Electronic Center." To a kid
in high school at the time, this sounded like a really big time computer
stuff. :-) Besides, I always wanted to try building my own system though
now I know it's probably better that I never did. At the time, I thought
a system with a paper tape reader/punch was the ultimate, but hey, I was
still using an ASR-33 to access the school's timesharing system. Still,
I wouldn't mind having one of these "real" computers, so if
you don't want your's any more, send
it to me. |
