Had a TOPS-20 in his basement that did a great job of keeping the house warm in the cool months (I remember one BAR bof where he extoled the benefits of this form of home heating).
Yup, and I agree with him! You can turn your electricity/gas/etc into heat in something boring like a furnace, or in something interesting like a big computer. I've yet to turn on my building's main gas feed this winter, because I'm running a VAX-7000 and a few big PDP-11s in here. The DECsystem-2020s are next. It's good for the soul.
