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?'?

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