Thanks to The Computer History Simulation Project I had the possibility to experience the feel of the original UNIX V7 on an emulated PDP-11!

The feeling is quite the same as a new unix-like system of course, but it's something more rude, lacking some of the user-friendliness evoluted in this years.
The emulation of the PDP-11 is one of the best of the different computers emulated by the program, you can even have an ethernet interface to connect it to the hosting machine, think of a website hosted on the emulated PDP. :-)
I have to do more experiments on this though.
