   OK, what are the "rules of engagement" here?  Is is permissible
to state machines that one has custodial responsibility for or only
ones that are personal property?  If it's the latter, all I can
claim is the stuff listed on my website (see below for the obligatory
URL); if it's the former, then I can plausibly claim a full-blown
DECsystem 1090 (Imagine a machine that fully laid out in an all-up
configuration that needs about 400 square feet of space, almost
30kW of power, and a whole lot of cooling....).

   Fun machines.  I sat in front of a 2020 ("Maddog") for a good many
years and have that machine in my collection now.  Mostly, however, I
use an InterServe 2700 for "real" work.
