[rescue] can you beleive I do this as a *HOBBY*?

[William Barnett-Lewis]

Ok, as someone who only ever saw 11's through the glass while watching
my parents hand over thier college class card decks or as unused scrap
at my tech school (just before I got there they upgraded to a pair of
3B1's driving more serial terms than I think ATT ever intended... ;') 

So for all the serious DEC folk here, if I were I to start looking for
real, what would be a good PDP-11 version (and related eq. specs too)
that would run BSD 2.11? (I say this as I know unix - I don't know the
DEC OS's. I'd rather something I can keep running than something too
cool for me to ken.)

Thanks in advance,

William
