I've just sent out a newgroup message for alt.sys.pdp10.
It may take some time for the group to appear at your site.
However, if it hasn't appeared at your site within a week you should
talk to your news administrator. If he/she hasn't received the newgroup
message, please email me and I'll try to fix it.

Why not? :-)
Actually, it seems that on altnet there needn't be any reason at all for
sending out a newgroup message. However, in this case I believe I
have fairly good reasons, at least by altnet standards:
The group was proposed (not by me) on alt.folklore.computers more than
two weeks ago. It's been discussed on several newsgroups,
including alt.config, comp.sys.dec, alt.folklore.computers, alt.sys.pdp8, ...
The general consensus seems to be that such a group would be needed and
welcome. There may not be many active PDP-10 systems up and running
today, but there_is_ a lot of people who're interested in discussing
the PDP-10 and related issues.
There is a parallel case: alt.os.multics, which has turned out to be
an active group with almost 100% signal-to-noise ratio, despite the
fact that there are very few Multics systems running.
Does this answer your question of 'Why?'?

Very true!
I heard some rumor about a new incarnation of the PDP-10 may be for sale soon.
Anyone know anything about this?

XKL was building supposedly one but I haven't heard of them in a
while.
But who needs custom hardware when you can run an emulator on a cheap
alpha that runs TOPS-20 faster than a KL-B. Stu grossman and Ken
Harrenstein and each written working, portable PDP-10 emulators.

So is there an emulator that's actually available? I have an Alpha to play
with...
