Interesting question.  I would love to have a Harris system, though
realistically I probably don't have room.  The first *REAL* computer I
worked on was a Harris system running VOS.  I was an electrician at the time
and I taught the System Administrator for it how to use PC's and he taught
me how to do various tasks on the Harris.  Nothing like doing the nightly
backups *while* making the rounds of the various engineering spaces (I'd
stop off in the office where the computer was to change 9-Track tapes).

OTOH, it wasn't much fun getting woken up to get the computer back online
when it went down because people knew I could, and they knew I lived onboard
ship.
