Let's take a step back here, and stop treating jerks like Kurt (or me, for that matter) the way they treat the ideas they perceive to be hare-brained. It's weird that with all the time in the world to "think before posting", knee-jerk reactions still find their way to a mailing list like this one

ooh, there's an idea for new project... I also have a soft spot for the old PDP11 architecture and aesthetics, and like the idea of an emulator sitting behind an 11/70 front panel, but I havn't been able to decide what software to run on it... Unix ran quite nicely on an 11/70 back in the late 70

Hi Mayuresh, Please don't be discouraged. The Plan 9 community is small and has its fair share of trolls. If you feel strongly about this effort then by all means move forward! In the past, I've found that a prototype/proof of concept can speak far more than any email I could write ahead of time.
