  Ok.  Thank you Johnny.  I will see if I can do that before I start
packing up.

  Part of my problem here is that I am taking quite a lot of stuff to
the museum where VCF-East is being held, a lot of stuff not related to
my exhibit, and the PDP-11/44 is right in the middle of the part of the
room where those racks have to roll through...so it must be shut down
and disconnected long before it will actually go onto the truck.  I will
try to figure out a way around that to give me more time.
