That said, I do miss the GPD - aka the Graphics Wonder which was, IMHO, their best product. A vector graphics system with a dedicated PDP-11. Some of the coolest programs I ever ran on the CMU PDP-10's displayed on the "GDPs." I still have a technical manual for it and have had a private dream of trying to put it into simh to try to resurrect some of those old codes (ah yes -- something else for my retirement "bucket list" - real work gets in the way).
