Sure, I've used a PDP-1, only about 10 years ago.  The things I
remember best are
(a) the clock speed knob on the front panel.
(b) the assembler which punched out your program onto paper tape
backwards so when the loader read it the relocation information
was at the front.

Neither Minsky nor McCarthy wrote the first spacewar, but it was
Minsky's lab at MIT where the writing was done.  Minsky now says
proudly that he wants his lab to remembered as the first to
ban game playing during the day.
