ADP Network Services in Ann Arbor still has PDP-10s and 20s coming
out their ears.  In '82 I took a couple of HP engineers on a tour
of the machine room.  They were completely boggled -- then we crossed
the room, opened a small door, and showed them another twice its size.
Since then they've more than doubled the floor space.  I've not been
there since '83, but last I heard there were around 20 PDP-10s of 2 or
3 CPUs each, and 70 or 80 PDP-20s.  Including a home made multiprocessor
20.  Ken Thurman was the prime software architect, he's still around A2
somewhere tho no longer at ADP.
