My point would be that you're more likely to have that DECstation on 
a network than someone is likely to have their PDP-11 running V6 Unix.

Besides, I have no desire to run old versions of Unix, I'd just as 
soon run a supported version (almost said new version, but I still 
use Solaris 8).  Also, I don't run Unix on my PDP-11's, as there are 
plenty of interesting OS's that won't run on anything else.
