Stacken and Peter broke up a long time ago.  Let's just say that the
divorce was ugly.  Peter got custody of most of the PDP10 stuff, and
it was moved to a storage facility of his.  It might still be there,
I have no idea, and I am (still) not on speaking terms with him.

A couple of KS machines was kept, and one of them was actually up and
running less than a year ago when the KTH CS department had its 50
year anniversary.  (It was actually their first "real" computer).

It is still hidden away somewhere, but there is at the moment no place
where it could be placed in running condition.  It needs a good home.

It might be someone that's on this list, and shares his name with you :->
