It's me again.  I've got my 11/55 actually running; toggled in the
boot loader from the scrap of paper taped to the console, hit "START"
and <bzzzzt bzzzt> sounds from the LA36.  It gives the banner, does
it's startup script, asks time/date etc.  And then logs itself out.

What do I do next?  I've got a virgin RSX pack from DEC, that I will
attempt to boot off of next (I have to run home to do this) and do
a little password guessing.

What can I >DO< with RSX?  Should I go through the effort of ditching RSX
for RSTS?  (Half of my friends pull their hair and scream when I mention RSTS
and the other half scream when I say RSX.  At least of the friends that don't
have a coronary when I say "Fifteen year old PDP11"
