+I couldn't help myself.  I've found the PDP/8 family somewhat interesting for
+a long time, but never enough to just go out and buy one since the mass and
+power to fun ratio just didn't quite cut it.  Along comes the gang at 
+Spare Time Gizmos with a quasi-modern 
+[PDP/8 workalike](http://www.SpareTimeGizmos.com/Hardware/SBC6120-2.htm) 
+kit...
+
+I just couldn't help myself.  I ordered one of the partial kits... the proto
+PCBs of the 
+[front panel](http://www.sparetimegizmos.com/Hardware/SBC6120_Front_Panel.htm)
+for it are all sold out, but they expect to have production
+boards in a couple of weeks!  I've also started the order process for one of
+the 
+[I/O boards](http://www.jkearney.com/sbc6120/iob6120.htm)
+that adds a bunch of neat features.
+
+Yeah, it's just a toy, but the thought of having a PDP/8 clone with a real 
+front panel, compact flash storage, etc, was way too appealing to pass up!
