Chris,
I have to protest. The PDP-12 was not "a bastardized PDP-8" but a 
specially for laboratory work developed successor to the LINC.
I was at that time - working as a neuroscientist - jealous of people 
using a PDP-12 as they had much better A/D converters and more memory 
than my (simple!) PDP-8 (4K 12-bit memory, Dectape and papertape as 
external media). I bought my first PDP-8 in 1969 (SN 1999!) and 
programmed exclusively in Fortran. Basic was a commodire language, we 
used FOCAL, for quick and dirty programs.
(Yes, I am not the youngest on this list but certainly not the oldest!!).
