Mark Brader notes:

The computer is actually a "PDP-112".  Little did Trudeau know that DEC
would give up on the PDP name scheme before the numbers got that high!

(In Doonesbury, 1971-3).

=============

In Maynard, I once saw a poster in the PDP-6 area advertising the "PDP-69".















It showed an airline stewardess.
