So I ran a simple script that tried to get the executable characteristics of a node, for each node in the nodedb.
I was surprised to see that only 33 systems seemed to be online.
I thought there would've been more up.
Note that not all machines on HECnet speaks NICE... No Cisco boxes do, for example, even though they do talk DECnet and have node numbers.
But in general, yes, the list is much shorter than the registered nodes. Lots of people don't keep their machines up 24x7, and lots of people also are not always even online with any box.

I can imagine the HECnet post subject:

And the worst thing about it - I've got LOADS of room for this thing, I live alone in 150 sq m flat (well I have a cat, so that's like 1.3 people).
I just don't have the power infrastructure to run it. And NO I am NOT buying my own diesel generator.

Yeah that's the part that's just line noise. What are you sitting on
right now? Couldn't it be a PDP-11 instead? And do you sleep lying
down? That space could be put to better use.

My wife is pretty tolerant, but that would be too much. I tell her how lucky
she is; I could have reacted to my mid-life crisis by buying a sports car
and growing a pony tail, instead I just collect old computers, which is a
lot cheaper (mostly!) and less embarrassing. :-)

Rob

The PDP-11 was in Helsinki, I'm in Beirut.
Logistically this was deemed to be not feasible.

Now that's what I'd call interior design.

If syntax wasn't the issue then semantics probably was. A syntactical analysis won't help you Sampsa:-)

The individual words are fine, but this sentence makes no sense.
