Not a PC. :-)
Otherwise I could point at Magica.Update.UU.SE, an PDP-11/70 from 1975,
hooked on the net, and a general resource for those crazy enough to be
interested (login with guest/guest).

I still have five PDP8 systems around as well, but none are online. Update
did have a PDP-8/i online until a few years ago...
That places us in the 60's.
