   We've got a new logo (and stickers) with a nod to our friends in Redmond.

     @me @SDF Well, it’s a PDP-6/-10 HALT instruction (a variation on the JRST branch instruction), but I don’t know the significance of the 18 bit address field (277616).

     The original XKL logo had an address field which was the SIXBIT for WA<space>. After a reorg and name change, I redid the logo to have an address that decoded to LLC .

     @SDF Is there a meaning to the specific bit pattern?
     SDF.ORG repeated this.

     @SDF I assume the 36 bits (clearly grouped into octal) has something to do with a TOPS-20 system?

     @alderson

     What is the history with the black and white logo? Is that after your time?

     We can let JRST 4,,277616 stay a mystery for a little while longer, but not too much longer.

     @SDF I see. I suggested the same thing when we digitized the original logotype done by a graphic designer, and got shot down.

     That would have been 277432. 😁

     @alderson then it is only fitting that they would lose a bit.
