Many old-timers consider the PDP-11/45 the best single computer design
of all time.  I particularly liked one with a VT48 display processor on
the Unibus (as a second bus master); its display list was in memory
shared with the PDP-11 CPU, and one could produce some truly amazing
interactive graphics programs the like of which is seldom seen even today.
