Try as hard as I can, I can't find ANY relatively modern
computer that needs 6SN7s (a dual triode, octal base),
not even 12AU7s.

You didn't look very hard:

ERROR on "correction," Jimmie.

That's a 2002 ad-promo, four years OLD.

A click on the link for more data turns up blank with
the small advisory of no suppliers for this item. :-)

Search all you want of the HP, Dell, Compaq, the
independents such as PC Club...or the big warehouse
suppliers such as CDC or Frys. You won't find any
with vacuum tubes in them on the market this year
or the year before.

Now try to be a MAN, Jimmie, acknowledge your failure
to followup on the one-time "deal" of a single audio
output tube in a single specialty personal computer.


So what? It's only been 60 years since ENIAC was announced...

Tsk. You've been around for a decade less and your
THINKING is obsolete and self-centered.

BTW, what did ENIAC have to do with AMATEUR RADIO?

Anything at all?

ENIAC and the amateur code test deserve a place in
MUSEUMS, not the reality of life in today's world.

Please direct any more hero worship of ENIAC to the
ACM historian. You DO have an ACM membership, don't
you?
