I've been meaning to ask for some time:

Does anybody have a copy of Thornton's "Design of the CDC 6600" that is
otherwise collecting dust and would *love* to get rid of it?  It's been
out of print for some time.  I've been (every once in a while) scouring used
book stores for the last couple of years to no avail.  I will provide it
with a happy home.

Also, has anyone duplicated the font of the old 6000 operator console for
use with X?  'Chippewa 12 point' anyone?  :-)
