   Back in my undergrad years, a fellow student had access to the
departmental PDP-8.  He also had access to the academic centre's
machine room, and somehow acquired the PDP-10 sign from that
system.  The PDP-10 sign was hung proudly on the PDP-8, particularly
when a tour was being given.
   When asked about the sign, his reply was:  "Octal".
