[sdiy] just when you think DIY spirit is fading out

[Jay Schwichtenberg]

What can you say, everyone needs a hobby.

There are people that do things the old ways in a number of fields just 
because they like too. Some people look at synth DIY and say why not buy 
a box or use a soft synth.

Then there is this. I'm going for a PiDP-8 sincethe first computer I 
programmed was a Classic PDP 8 and I worked for DEC for a bit.
