I’m not sure if that’s completely true.  I remember a PDP11 (11/45 probably) at 
the University of Illinois, around

I am pretty sure I once saw a PDP8/e which was absolutely normal internally, 
but where the front panel was
green (as were the switch handles) and it was badged 'Varian'. I don't remember 
a Digital logo on the
front anywhere.

WTF? Varian was a competitor of DEC. They made minis themselves. Sounds extremely strange that one would take a DEC mini, and put a Varian badge on it. Did someone try to make a joke?
