I can't buy enough of these kits and retro computers. They provide hours of fun and for younger people give them the chance to learn how computers worked earlier on.
The work and effort put into the PiDP8 & PiDP11 kits is very impressive, more impressive is that if you can't build a kit you can buy one pre-assembled.

About 8 years ago I was in Florida and treated myself to a day at Nasa, and took the 4 hour tour option that takes you to the older launch sites. At each site were dozens of pieces of computer hardware of all kinds (and many had built-in cigarette ashtrays!). It was cool to see. I unfortunately lost the pictures I took that day...
