I remember Marty Johnson talking about central office sending out fork lifts to
pick up the PDP 11s to get them out of the hands of the MUMPS programmers
building VistA!

And storing them in Building 37 (or was it 34?) at Hines, if the rumor
was true. Sort of like how they stored the ark in a warehouse in the
Raiders of the Lost Ark closing scenes.

I mention on https://www.hardhats.org/history/hardhats.html that an 11/70 was de-commissioned at Columbia Missouri during our darkest days.  That's the only 'fork lift' story I can confirm.

This video from the original posting was quite good.  I've watched this YouTuber for awhile now.

At the end of the program, he asks if anyone has ideas for what he could do with the PDP.  I wonder what it would take to get an old version of VistA / Fileman / whatever-it-was-called-back-in-the-day running on it.

Before VistA it was called DHCP

There is a disk image of DSM-11 on the net. 

Christopher Edwards had it running on a Raspberry Pi under a PDP-11 emulator.

I remember how we would do informal benchmarks at the MUG meetings at vendor booths. We would run DINIT (they all had FM installed) and would be impressed when it took less than a minute (if memory serves).

Fire up that Raspberry Pi and see how long it takes to run DINIT. ;-)
